Machining and platework is very crisp  throughout, the silver soldered copper Swindon No.1 boiler has been neatly made  with well flanged plates and good solder penetration.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe piston valve cylinders are in cast iron, complete with  drain cocks cable operated from the cab, end covers are fitted with dummy spring  relief valves. A mechanical lubricator is mounted beneath the smokebox door, the  cover plate is removed rather ingeniously by unscrewing the lamp.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA pair of injectors are fitted beneath the cab with inline  clacks to the boiler, steam feed valves are plumbed up to the backhead.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThere is a small box of parts and castings to go with,  including profiled frame steel, cast iron buffer casting and gunmetal axlebox  castings for the tender, a pair of machined headers with lubricator unions for  the cylinder steam feeds and a roll of brass boiler banding material, along with  a well-thumbed set of drawings.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis would be a straightforward project to complete, with  little further expenditure required other than a handful of boiler fittings and  some sheet brass for the tender. The locomotive itself could be ready to steam  simply by fitting the steam headers, connecting the lubricator and fitting a  regulator gland, water and pressure gauges. From the work done to date, it has  the potential to make a particularly fine example of a rarely-modelled  prototype.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cspan style=\"font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\" times new roman mso-bidi-language:ar-sa=\"\"\u003eLength 35 inches\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019201499477,"sku":"4197","price":4350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/4197-1.webp?v=1779902835","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-gwr-43xx-stock-code-4197","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
