{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-gwr-saint-stock-code-4042","title":"5 inch gauge GWR Saint","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eGiven the near total dominance of the 5 inch gauge GWR 4-6-0  scene by Martin Evans' \"Torquay Manor\" design, it's always nice to see  something like a \"Hall\" or, as in this case, a \"Saint\" come  along. The prototype, by Churchward, was state of the art when it appear in 1902  - along with the \"Star\", it's larger, four cylinder sibling, I think  this was the very height of stylish engineering, the half cab making for a  rakish looking machine (although I imagine it was perishing cold to drive).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe work of a well-known engineer who produced a good 5 inch  gauge A3 and Atlantic in the same gauge which I had at Alexandra Palace last  year (\u003ca href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/SRS%20website\/stock%20pages\/3667\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere  are some pictures in the archive here\u003c\/a\u003e), this is a nicely made, well-detailed  engine. Silver soldered superheated copper boiler, feed by twin injectors with  hand pump in the tender. Cast iron cylinders with piston valves actuated by  Stephenson's gear with screw reverser in the cab. Sight feed lubricator. Vacuum  ejector with train brake valve in cab.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine has a nicely detailed semi-scale backhead which  retains a good deal of driveability whilst at the same time giving you something  interesting to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010246332757,"sku":"4042","price":7950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/4042-1.webp?v=1779900987","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-gwr-saint-stock-code-4042","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
