{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-stock-code-3211","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.

Motionwork is worn although still as effective as ever - the engine goes  well.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 37 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight approx 200 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019731751253,"sku":"3211","price":3500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3211-1.webp?v=1779906636","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-stock-code-3211","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
