The regulator was seized, freeing off slightly when hot but still stiff at higher pressure; the left hand side injector clack leaks; it remains an asthmatic runner, most of the steam roaring straight up the chimney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    We've performed a hydraulic test at 140psi - while the boiler appeared structurally sound, we haven't issued certification on account of a leak under the dome. We suspect that this is the inner dome gasket, but the dome has been filled and painted and is not easily removable - there are marks where someone's tried to prise it off in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A finely made 5 inch gauge LMS Jubilee, an elegant design which we rarely see modelled - not sure whether it's making three cylinders or a taper boiler that puts people off, but there must have been a hundred B1s built to every one of these.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    This is an older engine, steamed we are told once or twice in the last two years. It came to us in part exchange for a Duchess, along with the 9F currently listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Listed under our \"locomotives\" section, it's partway between a running engine and a project. Boiler is sound and has a new hydraulic test. One safety valve has a seized cap and accumulates, the drain cock springs need replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    We found it pretty asthmatic under steam - however the last owner swears that with a good load behind it goes well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Jury's out on that. We have this one firmly down as a running restoration - an interesting, rather beautiful engine for those of an enquiring mind, a practical bent and a decent workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020005167445,"sku":"13309","price":6800.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/13309-1.webp?v=1779909481","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-lms-jubilee-4-6-0-stock-code-13309","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
