H.Clarkson design using their castings we  believe - I should have looked at the Clarkson catalogue that's on my bookshelf.\u003c\/font\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   A 5 inch gauge Prussian P8 - it's from the large collection of engines that John  and I collected from France last week, the late owner's huge old country house  about to be demolished to make way for apartments. Not sure whose castings or  drawings were used in the construction - it's nicely built with fine finish on  the valve gear and motionwork, and nice details like split bronze axleboxes and  cottered big ends. Boiler is stamped April 1980, P8\/34 with a working pressure  of 90psi - and that's about the sum total of what we know of the engine. If  anyone knows any more about it, we'd be pleased to hear from you.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Largely complete, the chassis is seized from having stood for many years in the  owner's house - wouldn't expect it needing anything more than gently freeing off  with some light oil. Brake hangers are fitted, but no shoes or linkage. Boiler  is silver soldered, beautifully made and fitted with a four element superheater.  Gunmetal cylinders have piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, there's a  finely made screw reverser in the cab with locking bar and two start square-cut  thread. Connecting and coupling rods have split and cottered big ends.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   An interesting project, something not seen too often on these shores.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Length\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 42 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 27 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009646514517,"sku":"7219","price":3750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7219-1.webp?v=1779898819","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-prussian-p8-4-6-0-stock-code-7219","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
