The pictures tell pretty much the whole story about this one so my  description will be brief - built to works drawings, highly detailed throughout  including a beautifully fitted backhead, re-railing jack mounted on the running  board, brick arch in the firebox, slacking pipe, tender water scoop... The list goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003ePreviously the property of a gentleman who, after Eton, Oxford  and The Guards became a director of Christies and head of their Old Masters  department (he also found time to set up their Motor Car department). His  interests included all things mechanical which extended to a fine collection of  model locomotives and traction engines, several vintage racing cars which he  campaigned with great style and ability (including the legendary ERA  \"Remus\") and vintage aeroplanes (including a Mk1a Spitfire which he  flew regularly).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis one came to us with the remains of a fire in the ashpan -  the owner died in 1986, so the engine hasn't been run in at least 28 years  although I suspect, with so many other toys to play with, the steam engines  remained mainly works of art in the house. That said, we couldn't resist putting  it on the rolling road where it ticked over on air in the sunshine this morning  - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L3Jw9XsMb_8\u0026amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  a clip of it here\u003c\/a\u003e, it runs every bit as well as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHydraulic test @160psi for 80psi working pressure, 13-May-2014\u003cbr\u003e  Length\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 29 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 23 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019252486485,"sku":"6145","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6145-1.webp?v=1779903337","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-armstrong-2-2-2-prince-christian-stock-code-6145","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
