Words  and pictures below are from last time it was here, it's in much the same  condition now, still goes just as well.\u003c\/font\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI have enormous respect for Ken Swan, he's one of the tiny  minority of designers (Don Young being the only other who immediately springs to  mind) who actually appear to think about how an engine will be maintained and  serviced once built - machining large oil wells into the top of axleboxes is  such a good idea it should be made mandatory on all engines, rather than the  usual silly little hole drilled through the top which can hold two spots of oil.  Having a lever in the cab that releases the grate and ashpan, and then puts it  all back again, without you once getting your hands dirty has passed everybody  else by, but it makes ashing out a Bridget at the end of the day a positive  pleasure (not to mention a bit of a party piece if one is of a mind to show  off). And proper sized oil pots everywhere. And a substantial support for  the valve rod. Don't get me started, I could go on all day...  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is a really nicely built \"Bridget\", the great  man's freelance 0-4-2T design. It runs very well, nicely detailed throughout and  particularly well painted and lined.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver solder copper boiler with superheaters, 80psi working  pressure, feed by axle pump and injector with auxiliary hand pump beneath  footplate. The injector is the right size and neatly plumbed, it will start  reliably from working pressure right down to 40psi. Cast iron cylinders with  slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear with pole reverser in cab. Mechanical  lubricator behind front buffer beam.  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 37 inches  \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019985572181,"sku":"3640","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3640-1.webp?v=1779909028","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-stock-code-3640","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
