I first saw it out in Switzerland in summer, when Mrs P  and I went over to the Internatioal Steam Festival at Le Bouveret - it was bit  of a busman's holiday, we were delivering two new engines to customers out there  but had plenty of time to drive on the super railway out there over the weekend.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   If you have a look at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cYePXAXtDOM\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethe  video we made of the weekend here\u003c\/a\u003e, right at the beginning - in addition to  seeing one of our FC7s towing the brand new Big Feldbahn we'd taken out to the  steaming bays for the first time - you'll see this \"Simplex being readied for a  day's running. Must say I was impressed by how well it went - mixing it with a  lot of large, fast engines it ran like clockwork all the time we were there,  notching up lap after (mile long) lap of the circuit.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Silver soldered copper boiler, 100psi working pressure, feed by injector and  axle pump with auxiliary hand pump in the side tank. Cast iron cylinders with  slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, screw reverser in the cab.  Displacement lubricator beneath the cab floor with twin sight feeds in the cab.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   It's in good mechanical order and runs very well (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ubYHpohE31I\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  some video of it running in the yard here\u003c\/a\u003e), boiler is in sound condition. A  thoroughly well sorted engine (as it needed to be for Le Bouveret), it runs well  notched up virtually to midgear, safety valves open and close in positive  fashion, the injector and axle pump are reliable and fuss free.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e    \u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009634554197,"sku":"7111","price":3650.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7111-1.webp?v=1779898734","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-simplex-0-6-0t-stock-code-7111","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
