{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-lms-black-5-stock-code-5103","title":"5 inch gauge LMS Black 5","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA well-advanced Black 5 to Don Young's highly-regarded   design. Work to date is particularly good, machining all very crisp, fit and   finish of the motionwork is excellent. The chassis runs on split gunmetal   axleboxes, the piston valve cylinders are in cast iron. Boiler is by Priory   Boilers with original paperwork and a hydraulic test by the late builder's club   dated 2006. Sometime between then and now, the boiler has been rendered somewhat   less than useful by the application of a good deal of heat and not a little solder -   goodness knows why, the exact circumstances remain something of a mystery in a   new, unsteamed engine.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn addition to a set of drawings for the engine, there is a set   of Tony Alcock \"Jubilee\" drawings and a few \"Maid of Kent\"   ones thrown in for good measure (hence the drawing of a tender emblazoned with   \"Southern\" in case you were confused). There is a comprehensive set of   the builder's notes, contained in five notebooks and a quantity of enlarged and   mounted black and white photographs of prototype details for reference.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAlong with the engine and tender, there is a boxful of loose   parts including the brake gear, injectors, water and pressure gauges, steam   valves, a set of stainless steel superheaters, buffers, cylinder steam pipe   covers and a large quantity of other bits and bobs including spare connecting   rods and pistons. The builder was a fastidious engineer - he sadly didn't live   to enjoy the fruits of his labours - who went to a great deal of trouble over   the research and construction of this engine, from making a geared, rotating   building stand for the locomotive through to the small die set for producing   cylinder end cover gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere is the potential in this one to make a fine Black 5 -   still woefully under-represented around the clubs, where there must have been   ten of Evans' B1s built to every one of these.

Whilst rather scarce in 5 inch gauge,   by one of those fairly odd coincidences, we've currently also got a complete one   in 10 1\/4 inch gauge and a similarly advanced \"Highlander\" in 7 1\/4   inch gauge - if a \"Doris\" comes in any time soon we'll have the set.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e   Locomotive 41 inches\u003cbr\u003e   Tender 27 inches\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019638493525,"sku":"5103","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/5103-01.webp?v=1779905762","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-lms-black-5-stock-code-5103","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
