Known for their brisk performance on fast suburban services around  London, they regularly hauled six coach trains.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith the typically nineteenth century double frames and trademark Swindon  copper capped chimney, large dome and safety valve bonnet, the engine is  particularly good looking to my eye. Based on a modest-sized prototype, the  model is easily handled by one man yet is still a decent passenger hauler.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWork to date is to a high standard and comprises an air-running chassis,  complete with brakes, cross head pump and mechanical lubricator. The smokebox is  largely complete and fitted, featuring particularly neat riveting. There is a  smokebox door and hinges, the blast pipe and blower ring are fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere are unmachined castings for inner and outer domes, chimney, safety  valve bonnet and hand pump.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eComplete with a set of drawings, parts and castings are still available from  Reeves.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength 31 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009772573013,"sku":"2762","price":870.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2762-1.webp?v=1779899133","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-metro-chassis-stock-code-2762","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
