Cast iron cylinders with slide valves  actuated by Stephenson's valve gear, pole reverser in cab, manual cylinder oil  pump in cab – basically one pump a lap and one extra on hills!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe engine has had little use, the boiler had a twice  pressure hydraulic test last week and a new certificate issued – it is in fine  condition, having been run with water treatment from new. It steams quickly from  cold and runs well – one of the nicest things about large wheels is the most  satisfying bark they produce from the exhaust (which is what made me buy my  first “Maid of Kent” many years ago, having heard one running round at the  Romney Marsh Club).\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010046415189,"sku":"3671","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3671-1.webp?v=1779900085","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-4-4-0-stock-code-3671","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
