{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-britannia-stock-code-7414","title":"5 inch gauge Britannia","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   A 5 inch gauge Britannia, built from a Winson kit it's been steamed apparently  once to test, since then it's been on display in the late owner's house (up five  flights of stairs no less, Connor counted them on the way down), run  occasionally on compressed air.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Unusually for a kit-built engine it runs well - the locomotive pushes along very  freely, coasting to a gentle halt if given a decent push. With 10psi of air in  the boiler it will tick over, steamed out in the yard yesterday it ran for most  of the afternoon - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OgMXng7jsas\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  some video of it here\u003c\/a\u003e.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Silver soldered copper boiler, complete with manufacturer's original  documentation including hydraulic test certificate. Feed by twin injectors with  auxiliary hand pump in the tender. Cast iron cylinders with piston valves  actuated by Walschaerts gear, screw reverser in the cab. Mechanical lubricator.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   The engine has been well painted, the builder has added extra detailing such  aslamps, works and tender plates, planked cab floor, vacuum hoses and feed valve  indicator plates on the tender. Interesting choice of cabside number, perhaps a  smaller font might have given room for another zero...  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   There is minor work remaining - the weighshaft isn't pinned adequately resulting in the die  block lifting arms gyrating frenetically when running. Regulator shaft needs  pinning on the outside. Injectors work after a fashion, but neither steam nor  water valves are very special, making them difficult to control - given the  quality of Winson valves I'd be tempted to replace them completely.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Complete with a binder with original assembly instructions and a length of scale display track.  The builder obviously enjoyed putting this one together, he went on to buy their  5 inch gauge Jubilee, Likamobile steam car and Tiger tank kits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019946545493,"sku":"7414","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7414-1.webp?v=1779908812","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-britannia-stock-code-7414","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
