I took a bit of a  shine to this one when it arrived, it's been sat on the hall table since. Last  week we had a club running night and, after a long day in the workshop I  couldn't face lifting the Prairie tank I was supposed to be taking so liberated  this one from the house instead. Such is its prettiness that, two days after coming back  from the club, Mrs P has asked for it back in the hall (and I can't remember the  last time that happened).    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver soldered superheated copper boiler, working pressure 85psi, feed by  injector and twin axle pumps. Parallel action firehole doors in stainless steel.  Gunmetal cylinders with slide valves actuated by  Walschaert's valve gear with pole reverser in cab. Drain cocks operated from  footplate, mechanical lubricator on running board. Steam ejector mounted on  smokebox with driver's brake valve in cab, vacuum pipes to front and rear buffer  beams. Screw-down brake. There is rather a good whistle under the running board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"pages\/sme-a.htm\"\u003e\u003cimg border=\"0\" src=\"thumbnails\/sme-a.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAt  the club the engine ran well all evening, with a variety of drivers from 11  years to men of, ah, more experienced years... It runs near silently in  next-to-middle notch, the axle pumps are master of the boiler (as one driver found  when a noise of bubbling porridge from the chimney indicated the water level was  long North of the top nut) and the injector is a joy to use. At one point she  came in with just under 20 pounds on the clock, with a quick bit of firing and a  crack of the blower, she was off again and made up working pressure in two laps  (which at Stamford's track is about a spit and a half).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eYou may  get the impression I like this engine. It's always a joy to see a well made  locomotive, even more so when it goes as well as it looks. For a beginner it  would be ideal, for an experienced man with several large engines, it's the  easiest thing in the world to throw in the back of the car for a quick hour's  running of an evening (and certainly easier than the Prairie).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOnly  problem might be getting it off Mrs P's hall table...    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019654877525,"sku":"2771","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2771-1.webp?v=1779905835","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-ajax-0-4-0-stock-code-2771","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
