{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-stock-code-2554","title":"7 1\/4 inch gauge \"Bridget\"","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e7 1\/4 inch gauge 0-4-2 tank locomotive to Ken Swann's  \"Bridget\" design. I have high regard for this man's work -  \"Bridget\" was designed as a powerful yet easy-to-handle 7 1\/4 inch  gauge engine which would negotiate ultra-tight curves (\"Jessie\",  derived from the same design but without the trailing wheels, is capable of  negotiating an 8 foot radius). The ideal engine for getting a start in 7 1\/4  gauge, the engine steams well and is easy to drive, yet capable of pulling good  loads.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver-soldered copper boiler with superheaters, fed by injector  and axle pump. Twin water gauges with blowdowns. The grate has a dump pin  actuated by a lever in the cab, which makes cleaning down after a run very easy  (no fiddling about with a wretched little dump pin which never fits through the  over-tight holes in the frames, while the connecting rods are busy trying to  guillotine your fingers off). I especially like the large oil troughs machined  into the tops of the axleboxes, which guarantees lubrication to an  often-neglected area on tank engines, given the difficult of getting an oil can  in).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eTwin cylinder with slide valves actuated by Walschaerts valve  gear, mechanical lubricator behind front buffer beam. Mechanical screw-down  brake in cab.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is an older engine, recently come in as part exchange  against a Hunslet. It needs minor work - the paintwork is getting tired, the  dummy sander boxes need refitting and the crosshead slippers are going to need  replacement at some stage to take up wear. Having said that, it's had a recent  boiler test with a new club certificate through to August 2007, was well built  in the first place and still goes like the clappers.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 37 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 200 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020243947861,"sku":"2554","price":3850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2554-1.webp?v=1779912327","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-stock-code-2554","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
