It's recently come back as a part exchange having seen  little use in the meantime - words below are from 2006, the pictures were taken  last week. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yaBmA-aePsc\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThere's  a video of it running outside the workshop here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA well known engine from a highly talented builder and driver, Percy Wood of  the Chingford Club remains the only person to have entered and won IMLEC three  times with three different engines of his own build. His first win came with a  Maid of Kent, the second with a 3 1\/2 inch gauge Britannia. His third and final  win came with this J39 of his own design - pulling twelve passengers it won by a  large margin.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt goes without saying that the engine is beautifully made, all machining and  fitting is to a high standard with lots of nice practical details - large oiling  channels machined into the top of eccentric straps, wire-wound valve handles in  the cab which don't get too hot to hold, sight feed lubricator, quarter-turn  blowdown valve on the throatplate which is both easy to reach and can be  operated with one finger. There is a removeable wooden coal tray in the tender,  the paintwork beneath appears never to have had a lump of coal on it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler with radiant superheaters, feed by twin  injectors. Inside cylinders with slide valves actuated by Stephenson's valve  gear with screw reverser in cab. Sight feed lubricator with oil tank beneath the  cab floor.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI ran the engine down at the club this week, it goes as expected. Dead square  exhaust beats, it will pull away even well notched up and runs at speed with a  fast, almost inaudible exhaust. Along with the V2, one of the nicest engines  I've driven this year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020227334485,"sku":"6887","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6887-1.webp?v=1779912035","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-lner-j39-0-6-0-stock-code-6887","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
