In the event it  was only me, Alan and Martin down at the track (and they were playing around on  the 7 1\/4 so I had the 5 inch track to myself). Opening the Lanky tank's crate,  I was confronted by a glittering array of valves, levers, vacuum gauges, all  sorts of lovely twiddly little detailed blobs and gadgets - whereas what I  wanted was something I could just sling a fire in and trundle round watching the  world go by whilst not having to do much thinking...  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so it was \"Friar Tuck\" that spent the next three hours going  round and round in the Lincolnshire sunshine, making for a most enjoyable (if  somewhat solitary) afternoon. It goes quietly, without fuss - a willing steamer,  all in all a thoroughly nice thing to drive. Just what was needed, I came home  almost a new man (and steamed the L\u0026amp;Y three days later, when in a more  robust frame of mind).  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler, 80 psi working pressure, feed by axle pump  with a hand pump underneath the left hand cab floor. Slide valve cylinders with  Hackworth valve gear, mechanical lubricator with a pair of auxiliary  displacement lubricators. Screw down brake working on rear wheels.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn older engine, the paint has a rather nice faded sheen to it, however  mechanically it's in good order.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength 32 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 120 pounds  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019217686869,"sku":"3861","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3861-1.webp?v=1779903024","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-sweet-pea-stock-code-3861","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
