{"product_id":"6-inch-gauge-4-2-2-chassis-stock-code-7102","title":"6 inch gauge 4-2-2 chassis","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Rather like waiting for a bus and then three all turn up at once, by some  bizarre coincidence this is the third six inch gauge engine I've bought in as  many months - I must have pretty much cornered the market by now.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Not so much a serious contender for the next club locomotive, this is more a  whimsical piece of Edwardian engineering as art. A beautifully built 4-2-2  chassis, I think dating from the 1920s or slightly earlier. As a model the  proportions and method of construction are entirely typical of the period, with  elegantly sculpted motion work and delicate frames. Detail is prototypically  authentic and includes counterbalanced weighshaft, one piece crankshaft with  split and cottered big ends to the connecting rods and finely wrought leaf  springs.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   It all turns over very smoothly - the chassis has been partially repainted in  recent times, but with significant amounts of earlier paint showing on the  frames.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   If anybody recognizes the engine I'd like to know more about it. The other two  engines I have in the same gauge both have interesting histories - one is just  post-war, the other nearly 100 years old. Although neither are for sale, they  will be on display at the open day, along with this one.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Length 40 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Driving wheels 9 1\/2 inch diameter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019203989845,"sku":"7102","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7102-1.webp?v=1779902878","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/6-inch-gauge-4-2-2-chassis-stock-code-7102","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
