We built a stand incorporating a rolling road, so   that it could be steamed up in his barn - it actually only ever got steamed the   once, it's been run on air a few times since. Illness - unrelated to ownership   of the engine we are assured - now means a change of direction, he's no longer   able to run the engine. The stand in the pictures is included, it's long enough to accomodate the whole locomotive (and run it in situ, if you fancy impressing dinner guests in your living room). Words below are from 2016, pictures were taken this   morning. We have a four-wheeled road trailer, built for transport of both engine   and stand, available separately if required.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe first time I saw this engine was on a visit to the owner   back in 2010. The man is a prolific builder, we've had many engines from him   over the years including a super \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2133\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5   inch gauge rebuilt Scot\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2134\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5   inch gauge Britannia\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2132\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e7   1\/4 inch gauge Black 5\u003c\/a\u003e which we took part-built when his health precluded   work on large engines (he's subsequently amassed the biggest collection of gauge   1 engines I've seen outside an exhibition). Other engines we had from his   collection included a super 4 inch Burrell DCC Showmans engine, 4 inch Clayton   wagon, 5 inch gauge Brighton tank, 5 inch gauge Torquay Manor... As I remember,   back in 2003 when we first met, it was the first time I'd needed to hire a 7.5   ton lorry to move a collection of engines.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis engine was built after a visit to New South Wales where he   saw a preserved example - most of the drawings were done while he was out there.   The result in 5 inch gauge runs out at over twelve feet long, scaling around a   quarter ton.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSuperheated steel boiler with expanded tubes, 90psi working   pressure. Feed by three injectors, twin double-ram axle pumps and steam pump   with auxiliary hand pump in the rear tank. Four cast iron cylinders, simple   expansion with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, screw reverser in   the cab, four mechanical lubricators. The engine is fitted with a pair of large   chime whistles outside the frames and one huge one inside.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eFit and finish of the motion and valve gear is good, the engine   runs very freely and - as expected - shows little sign of wear (I suspect you   couldn't muster enough coaches at the club to give it a load that it would   notice). It runs well and steams freely - we had it running outside the workshop   most of this afternoon, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RpxA69RDVmE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's   some video of it here\u003c\/a\u003e. Injectors work ok, mechanical and hand pumps are   good, steam pump is more decorative than functional.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019025502549,"sku":"7631","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7631-1.webp?v=1779901203","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-ad60-4-8-4-4-8-4-garratt-stock-code-7631","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
