It didn't actually get to see a fire until twenty years later - there's no point in hurrying these projects!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine has been steamed on half a dozen occasions. It runs beautifully and mechanically remains in as-new condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019759931733,"sku":"8657","price":15750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/8657-1.webp?v=1779906908","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-inch-scale-garrett-agricultural-engine-stock-code-8657","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
