The result of an eight year build, the locomotive was built using a  combination of photographs and works drawings - it is beautifully made and  highly details, right down to the re-railing jacks on the front running board  (and you can only imagine the sinking feeling the crew would get faced with a  derailment and two mechanical screw jacks...)    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AD60 Garratts were built for the New South Wales Government Railways -  despite the 250 ton weight and prodigious tractive effort, they frequently used  them double-headed on 1 in 40 inclines. Four remain in preservation from a class  of over 50.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler by Cheddar, 100psi working pressure. Feed by  twin injectors (the steam pump on the running board is a dummy). The boiler  feeds four stes of cylinders with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear  with a screw reverser in the cab (although getting from their to the weighshafts  is an epic tale in its own right). Four mechanical lubricators.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControls are very sensibly brought to the rear of the engine with extension  controls, the builder used the locomotive exclusively on ground level track - it  is complete with a driving truck, containing an air compressor for the brakes  and battery for locomotive lighting.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhat of a star of our open day, it easily won the \"engine most  photographed with my husband standing next to it\" prize.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength 118 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 400 pounds    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010055328085,"sku":"5924","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/5924-1.webp?v=1779900159","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-ad60-4-8-4-4-8-4-garratt-stock-code-5924","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
