Completed in 2002, the engine has been steamed on a handful of  occasions and is in as-new condition throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver-soldered copper boiler, twin superheaters, feed by axle  pump and injector with auxiliary hand pump beneath cab. The injector water is  fed from the tender, the two pumps feed from the saddle tank.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eGun metal cylinders with slide valves actuated by modified  Hackworth valve gear with pole reverser in cab. Twin mechanical lubricators.  Drain cocks rod operated from cab. The design for the valve gear modification  was published in \"Engineering in Miniature\" some years ago - the  builder made the standard Hackworth slider and die block assembly as drawn (and  which is supplied with the engine) before making and fitting the modified  version. Resembling Marshall valve gear, it replaces the sliding block, a known  wear point on Sweet Peas, with pivots. In operation it is impressive, the engine  goes very well and notches up to give near-silent running.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eFour wheeled tender with removeable coal box in top with water  tank beneath. There are two taps from the tank, one supplying the injector, the  other could be used as a feed for the pumps in addition to the saddle tank. In  addition to a bar coupling, a check chain is fitted between locomotive and  tender.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019243966805,"sku":"3159","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3159-1.webp?v=1779903290","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/5-inch-gauge-sweet-pea-with-tender-stock-code-3159","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
