Making a gasket for one valve chest seemed a bit parsimonious so might  as well do all three at the same time, along with a new cab roof (although  judging by the state of the new one, the old one must have been pretty dire). At  this point the whole project moves up a gear, the original Fowler tender is sold  and a new Stanier tender started to bring the whole thing thoroughly up to  date...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAnd that's where it's got to.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWe think this is virtually a complete engine, part-stripped and  missing its original tender, although with better than 80% of a new one. One or  two minor blobs and gadgets have gone missing - we can't find a water gauge -  but by and large everything seems to have been kept with the engine when it was  disassembled. The silver-soldered copper boiler has had a hydraulic test here  out of the frames, it's in good health and our inspector has issued a new  certificate. The whole thing was nicely made in the first place, the valve gear  is crisply machined and nicely fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019630170453,"sku":"4329","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/4329-1.webp?v=1779905654","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-dismantled-royal-scot-stock-code-4329","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
