The builder is a man whose work has  featured in these pages before, I have the highest regard for his abilities.  Amongst many engines built in a lifetime of model engineering, some that have  come through the workshop here include a superb \u003ca href=\"\/products\/stock%20pages\/3050\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e7  1\/4 inch gauge \"Locomotion\"\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/stock%20pages\/3052\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e5  inch gauge Caledonian 2-4-0\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/stock%20pages\/3051\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLSWR  O2\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/stock%20pages\/3049\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLa  France fire engine\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/stock%20pages\/2251\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLNER  V1\u003c\/a\u003e (which went like the clappers - it's since been stripped and repainted  handsomely into black livery). \u003ca href=\"\/products\/News%20archive\/Mar%202007\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHis  work and workshop featured in a news page \u003c\/a\u003ea couple of years back if you care  to check on some of the other projects this remarkable man has completed over  the years. \u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSilver soldered copper boiler, working pressure 80psi, feed by twin injectors  (which, typically, sport engraved brass tags on their feed pipes so you can't  possibly plumb them up the wrong way round when refitting!) with PTFE-seat  non-return valves, twin White-type pop safety valves. Regulator slide is made of  copper-impregnated PTFE. Bunker tank has increased capacity for feeding  injectors, the stainless steel grate hinges to empty.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear, modified  Ell-draughting exhaust with 1\/4 inch blast nozzle. Mechanical Ewins-type  lubricator and odometer mounted behind front buffer beam. Paintwork is  flamboyantly lined, it is in generally good condition, although faded on the  boiler immediately behind the smokebox and with some repainting. The driving  truck is fitted with a driver's handbrake and check chain for the coupling. The  boiler blanking plugs are, again typically for the builder (himself a club  boiler inspector), mounted neatly on a plate stored in the tender for when  needed. \u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSam and I ran the engine on the railway at home earlier in the year, it was  last in steam on Monday for the boiler inspector. \u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 37 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 30 inches \u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019229843797,"sku":"6166","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6166-1.webp?v=1779903147","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-0-6-0t-alex-stock-code-6166","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
