{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-maid-of-kent-stock-code-2228","title":"5 inch gauge Maid of Kent","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA 5 inch gauge 4-4-0 built to LBSC's \"Maid of Kent\"  design. These are usually either tricked up as Wainwright L1s or Midland  Compounds - the latter in this case.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAn older model made to a fairly basic standard, although it runs  well (though, typically for a 4-4-0, rather light-footed). I've had several  MoKs: with their large, seven inch diameter driving wheels they have a rather  stately exhaust beat which is very appealing (indeed it's the reason I bought my  own Maid of Kent after hearing one running at the Romney club track!).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCopper silver-soldered boiler with superheater. Feed by  injector, axle pump and hand pump in tender. Twin outside cylinders with inside  valves, actuated by Stephensons' valve gear with pole reverser in cab.  Hand-operated separate drain cocks, mechanical lubricator behind buffer beam.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine goes well, the tiny solid brass handwheels for the  cab fittings get bl***y hot and the whistle valve leaks (so I was nearly deaf by  the end of the afternoon). The paintwork is reasonable (if a slightly odd shade  - for some reason it reminds me of some stuff we used to get for school dinners)  with the lettering and lining all hand painted. For some utterly unfathomable  reason, the builder never painted the main frames.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 60 inches overall\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 130 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019904864597,"sku":"2228","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2228-1.webp?v=1779908258","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-maid-of-kent-stock-code-2228","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
