It has had one owner from new,  kept in this country for use when he visited - steamed on a  few occasions between 2003 and 2009 it remains in ex-works condition  throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine is immaculately made and finely detailed - one of the  very few models to have come in here where even close-up high resolution  pictures fail to show everything. Typical of the attention to detail is a  fully-working tender water scoop, raised and lowered by a handle at the front of  the tender - the handle has a safety chain as per full size to avoid anybody  digging up the ballast inadvertently, the scoop weighshaft has counterbalance  weights to allow it to be raised easily by the fireman. A considerable amount of  work to put in for a detail that, on a quarter ton locomotive sitting at ground  level can hardly be seen and certainly not used (unless you start lobbying your  club to put in a water trough).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe cabside and tender are hand lined and signwritten (yes,  including the British Railway lion and cabside 92220), the twin mechanical  lubricators, normally hidden beneath the running boards, are replicas of the  original Wakefields.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI won't dilate further - look at the pictures, if you need more  information, give me a call.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength with tender 9 feet\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019906044245,"sku":"5077","price":39950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/5077-1.webp?v=1779908274","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-br-9f-evening-star-stock-code-5077","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
