It looks to be in exactly the same condition - words below and pictures opposite are from last time it was here.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A venerable example of \"Ajax\", Dick Simmonds' handsome freelance design for an industrial 0-4-0 tank locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Over fifty years old, this was an early model by a prolific engineer who went on to build other locomotives, including a 5 inch gauge LNWR George V and Standard Class 2 tank - he was also apparently the \"go to\" man in his club for maintenance and repair of all kinds of steam models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The Ajax has seen a good deal of use over the years - it runs on air, motion work and valve gear is all well worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    We have no boiler history on this one - the family of the late builder haven't been able to turn up any old certification. At this age the boiler really needs stripping and testing off the frames - however a preliminary twice working pressure hydraulic test showed no signs of distortion or structural failure, there were a few weeping stays which may take up under steam.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019889463637,"sku":"8653","price":1850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/8653-1.webp?v=1779908021","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-ajax-0-4-0t-stock-code-8653","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
