The builder is  a man whose work has featured in these pages before, I have the highest regard  for his abilities.

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 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHydraulic test 21-12-2009 @120psi\u003cbr\u003e  Steam test 21-12-2009 @80psi  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020150002005,"sku":"3509","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3509-1.webp?v=1779911390","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-bridget-with-driving-truck-stock-code-3509","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
