Bought by a chap who put together the first couple of kits,  comprising frames, buffer beams and pony wheels, the remainder of the parts  remain sealed in the original bags. Complete with a full set of build  instructions, drawings and boiler certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe finished engine ends up around 40 inches long. It's a  handsome design, there are \u003ca href=\"\/products\/archive\/1997.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esome  pictures in the archive\u003c\/a\u003e of 5 inch gauge Prairies, although to the Evans  design rather than kit-built - they will at least give you an idea of the  finished article.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAs with all the currently-available kits, the component parts  are CNC machined - in general the overall standard of finish is good. What many  beginners fall out of bed over is not checking fit as the engine goes together -  I get lots of kit-built engines come in 90% assembled but with the wheels locked  completely solid. The idea is to fit the wheels and axles, then check that  everything lines up and is free to turn before bolting the next bit on. If  anything is binding up, a little work easing things off before going on will  result, ultimately, in an engine that works rather than an ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019892543829,"sku":"3035","price":2850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3035-5.webp?v=1779908089","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-modelworks-gwr-prairie-stock-code-3035","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
