The man is a prolific  builder, we've had many engines from him  over the years including a super \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2133\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5  inch gauge rebuilt Scot\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2134\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5  inch gauge Britannia\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/2132\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e7  1\/4 inch gauge Black 5\u003c\/a\u003e which we took part-built when his health precluded  work on large engines (he's subsequently amassed the biggest collection of gauge  1 engines I've seen outside an exhibition). Other engines we had from his  collection included a super 4 inch Burrell DCC Showmans engine, 4 inch Clayton  wagon, 5 inch gauge Brighton tank, 5 inch gauge Torquay Manor... As I remember,  back in 2003 when we first met, it was the first time I'd needed to hire a 7.5  ton lorry to move a collection of engines.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis engine was built after a visit to New South Wales where he  saw a preserved example - most of the drawings were done while he was out there.  The result in 5 inch gauge runs out at over twelve feet long, scaling around a  quarter ton.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSuperheated steel boiler with expanded tubes, 90psi  working pressure. Feed by three injectors, twin double-ram axle pumps and steam  pump with auxiliary hand pump in the rear tank. Four cast iron cylinders, simple  expansion with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, screw reverser in  the cab, four mechanical lubricators. The engine is fitted with a pair of large chime whistles outside the  frames and one huge one inside.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eFit and finish of the motion and valve gear is good, the engine  runs very freely and - as expected - shows little sign of wear (I suspect you  couldn't muster enough coaches at the club to give it a load that it would  notice). It runs well and steams freely - we had it running outside the  workshop most of this afternoon, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RpxA69RDVmE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  some video of it here\u003c\/a\u003e. Injectors work ok, mechanical and hand pumps are  good, steam pump is more decorative than functional.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 148 inches\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019185705301,"sku":"6338","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6338-1.webp?v=1779902658","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-garratt-ad60-stock-code-6338","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
