{"product_id":"4-inch-scale-tasker-little-giant-stock-code-12148","title":"4 inch scale Tasker \"Little Giant\"","description":"A 4 inch scale Tasker \"Little Giant\" traction engine, a well-built engine with commercially made copper boiler.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    An award-winning model, much exhibited and rallied by its builder until his death in 2019, since when it has not been used. It comes complete with a meticulously kept log detailing the 1,797 hours it has run from new; the repairs, maintenance and improvements made over a busy working life, along with drawings and documentation related to the full-size engines, used when researching the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests, with new certification issued. On test the engine proved free-steaming, responding readily to the regulator and running very well - quiet in low gear, with some ringing of the gears in high gear (although, to those of us used to full-size Fowler rollers, nothing to write home about...)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    There is minor wear-related play to crosshead and eccentric sheaves, not something that, at the moment, requires attention. We've fitted a new pressure gauge, blowdown valve and a couple of replacement blanking plugs during the pre-sale service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine is two speed with differential, running on rubber tyres. It's road-registered with V5 document.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Supplied with a set of firing irons and starter pack of coal and oil. If required we would be more than happy to include half a day's training at our works on the firing, driving and disposal of the engine for a new owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e    \u003ciframe width=\"353\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VbYvqD1bZIE?si=exOph871-UCjQ3-V\" youtube video player frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019725361493,"sku":"12148","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12148-1.webp?v=1779906532","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/4-inch-scale-tasker-little-giant-stock-code-12148","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
