{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-lner-j39-stock-code-2916","title":"5 inch gauge LNER J39","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\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 align=\"left\"\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 align=\"left\"\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 align=\"left\"\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  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 34 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 24 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020064215381,"sku":"2916","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2916-1.webp?v=1779910335","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-lner-j39-stock-code-2916","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
