Formerly used at Lord Braybrooke's private 5 inch gauge railway at Audley  End, where it ran in company with some very fine locomotives and rolling stock;  this is the engine you get out when you just don't want all the mess and hassle  of the real thing (although as Doctor Johnson so nearly said, \"when a  man is tired of steam, he is tired of life\"...)  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   A very finely made London, North Western Precursor 4-4-2 tank locomotive,  beautifully painted in blackberry black, hand lined and signwritten on the tanks  and destination boards.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   It was obviously designed to run with a battery in a truck behind - there are  leads with connectors under the rear buffer beam. The cab contains on\/off switch  and what appears to be a forward\/reverser switch, the \"regulator\" knob  is operated from the bunker, it also appears to be fitted with a servo for radio  control. Drive to the chassis is by a substantial electric motor mounted fore  and aft, with drive to axle by gears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019240460629,"sku":"7293","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7293-1.webp?v=1779903244","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-battery-electric-lnwr-precursor-4-4-2t-stock-code-7293","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
