Designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway, the first of the class No.1900 \"Claud Hamilton\" was out-shopped in 1900. A handsome design featuring 7 foot diameter driving wheels, it won a Gold Medal at the Paris Exhibition of that year - at that time it was the GER's largest express locomotive.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A well-built model, this one has impressed us with its performance - free-steaming, it ran beautifully on the rolling road, maintaining water and pressure without need of the blower throughout the test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. Feed is by twin injectors, with an auxiliary double-acting hand pump in the tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The backhead is well laid out, the controls falling easily to hand, the sight feed lubricator giving clear indication that oil's getting to the right place when running.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Presented in Great Eastern blue livery, the paintwork was well done in the first place and remains in good, bright condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Offered complete with firing irons, a starter kit of coal and water, and 12 months warranty. We would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the locomotive to a new owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e    \u003ciframe width=\"353\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o2MgkjQourk?si=sWlZC1OBBGuoR8Fs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019881533781,"sku":"11441","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/11441-1.webp?v=1779907968","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-claud-hamilton-4-4-0-stock-code-11441","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
