{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-freelance-pacific-stock-code-3173","title":"5 inch gauge freelance Pacific","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA large, well-proportioned Pacific that probably  qualifies for the most protracted build award. It appears a) ancient and b)  unused - I think it's been sitting around accumulating rust, muck and  (apparently) the contents of a tin of emulsion for at least the last sixty  years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe chassis is largely complete and, with the addition of a  couple of pins and some slide valves looks as if it would run on air - it  turns over freely. Cast iron cylinders, slide valves actuated by Walschaert's  valve gear, counter-balanced weighshaft, screw reverser in cab. Twin mechanical lubricators. The wheels are  coil sprung from beneath, the tender has working leaf springs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eBoiler is copper, 90% complete, of substantial construction and nicely made. It requires the  front tubeplate and foundation ring soldering in.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA great deal of nice quality work has already gone into this  engine, it would be well worth completing. Another one of those projects that  requires time but little by way of extra expenditure.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019655008597,"sku":"3173","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3173-1.webp?v=1779905838","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-freelance-pacific-stock-code-3173","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
