Looks if anything even more  polished now than when the pictures below were taken, it still runs particularly  well.\u003c\/font\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well-made Great Western Metro tank, built to the Martin Evans elegant  design and completed in 2001 - the original engines were built at Swindon from  1871.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler by Swindon Boilers, working pressure 100 psi.  Feed by twin injectors and hand pump. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's  gear with screw reverser in the cab, mechanical lubricator.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the same size as a 14xx tank, a Metro is easy to handle and will fit a  small hatchback. This is a particularly nice one, in good mechanical order - the  engine appears to have had little use and came in recently with a Manor, both  having run on the same railway. In steam for the boiler inspector earlier this  week, it steams freely and runs well - I was impressed by how quiet this one  was, the lack of mechanical noise only accentuating the crisp exhaust beats.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength 31 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydraulic test @150psi, 26-3-2013\u003cbr\u003e  Steam test 26-3-2013\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019898999125,"sku":"4392","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/4392-1.webp?v=1779908183","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-gwr-metro-stock-code-4392","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
