The chassis has been  well made, with piston valve cylinders, Walschaert's valve gear and reverser  gearbox in cab. The fit of the motionwork is good and it shows little sign of  wear, other than one loose driving wheel. The boiler is copper, fitted with a  substantial combustion chamber, twin safety valves, feed by injector and axle  pump with auxiliary hand pump in tender.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe superheated copper boiler looks well made and is sound on hydraulic test  at twice working pressure. The chassis runs well on air. The paintwork is dire,  platework pretty grim, especially the firebox cladding and the detail work is  either sparse or wrong, depending on where you look - the sight feed lubricator  sitting on the offside running board is particularly offensive.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThat said, I think this would be a worthwhile project. A decent repaint into  at least the right green would improve things 100%, the cab needs a refit (the  pressure gauge thankfully doesn't work, so no need for a conscience when binning  it).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWeight with tender estimated 250 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009804390741,"sku":"3294","price":4650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3294-1.webp?v=1779899266","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-britannia-stock-code-3294","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
