{"product_id":"5-inch-gauge-super-claud-4-4-0-stock-code-12608","title":"5 inch gauge CIE 13XX 4-4-0","description":"A 5 inch gauge 4-4-0, this one started out in life as a \"Super Claud\", built to the Martin Evans drawings. Sold in part-built condition, it was finished to resemble an Irish CIE 13XX.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The commercially made boiler by Chambers has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued. We noted a minor leak under hydraulic on one superheater element which was dry under steam; there is a slight leak under steam from the dome gasket, which needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    On test the left hand injector proved utterly useless; the right hand one feeds, with slight overflow. The handpump in the tender is reliable and effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    When we first ran the engine it proved a shy steamer; things were improved by opening the ashing-out flap under the grate, pointing to inadequate airflow in that area. Steaming was not improved by the grate having been fitted slightly lower than the foundation ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine ran in both directions on the rolling road, better in forward gear than reverse, with opportunity for improvement by resetting the valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The chassis will require some rebushing in the near future, at some time in the past it has been fitted with a replacement crank axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Overall, workshop notes describe it as a running engine which, with some attention to the drafting, could be used as-is, with potential to be improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e    \u003ciframe width=\"353\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FquTzSLXtP4?si=quDl_SwyLs_3hHXx\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54031459877205,"sku":"12608","price":3250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12608-1_bef8b75b-70e0-4468-9c80-e2c43e373188.webp?v=1779904670","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-super-claud-4-4-0-stock-code-12608","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
