William Stanier joined the LMS from Swindon in 1931,   head-hunted to solve the problem. His first design was the four cylinder   \"Princess\", but in 1934 the first mixed-traffic 4-6-0 rolled out of   Vulcan Foundry of what was, in the end, to become a highly successful class of   842 engines, the \"Black 5\"s.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis engine was assembled from a set of ModelWorks kits in 2004.   It runs along freely and has been steamed once. Complete with a set of assembly   instructions and the original twice pressure hydraulic certificate for the   boiler, there is also a set of works\/number plates and pre-cut polycarbonate   windows for the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler, working pressure 90psi,   superheated. Fusible plug fitted. Feed by twin injectors with hand pump in   tender. Gunmetal cylinders with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's valve   gear with screw reverser in cab. Mechanical lubricator. Screw down brakes for   locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOverall, it is only fair to say that there are always   \"optimisation opportunities\" with these kit engines, the finish is very much up to the   individual constructor with hand-fettling - particularly of the motion work -   required to make anything half-decent looking.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009885851989,"sku":"3136","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3136-1.webp?v=1779899464","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-modelworks-black-5-stock-code-3136","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
