It's come to us from the late builder's daughter, thirty  years ago he lived at Winkleigh in Devon and was a friend of the great Keith  Wilson (who made the boiler for him). Wheel castings are marked \"Minimum  Gauge Rly\", from narrow gauge pioneer Roger Marsh - all in all a rather  nice piece of history (admittedly hidden under some calamitous green paint...)  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   The engine is all together, copper boiler is structurally sound with a some  minor weeps which disappear under steam - we've hydraulic and steam tested it,  there's a short clip of it running outside the workshop this morning here. Water  tank is leaky, there's a new one in brass ready to be fitted. Pressure gauge  only ready to 100psi, which for 80psi working pressure is pushing it a bit -  really needs something with a little more headroom (and possibly a prettier  face). Mechanical lubricator is a super thing, looks like it came out of the  ark.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Silver soldered copper boiler, 80psi working pressure, feed by twin injectors  and hand pump. Twin spring type safety valves. Cast iron cylinders with slide  valves actuated by Hackworth gear, pole reverser in the cab. Mechanical  lubricator.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   The engine steams particularly freely and runs well - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xvHUnOPT-HU\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's  a clip of it running in the yard this afternoon here\u003c\/a\u003e. It's ready for a good tidy  up, but the project is more of a light overhaul than rebuild.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Complete with a large ride-in tender, water tank in rear to feed injectors.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Length\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 54 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 41 inches\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e    \u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019640394069,"sku":"7297","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7297-1.webp?v=1779905789","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-darjeeling-romulus-with-tender-stock-code-7297","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
