{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-dean-goods-stock-code-2968","title":"7 1\/4 inch gauge Dean Goods","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eConsidering that the 0-6-0 tender engine was probably the most  common type built for railways in this country, there are surprisingly few of  them modelled. A pity really, as there are some really attractive engines  fitting this description - the Derby 4F, the Great Western's offerings from a  variety of CMEs including Dean and Collet, not to mention engines like the  LNER's J39 (which you might have seen \u003ca href=\"..\/2916\/index.htm\"\u003eelsewhere on  the site\u003c\/a\u003e at the moment).\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIn 1883 Swindon Works produced the first of a class eventually  numbering 280 of good-looking 0-6-0 tender engines designed by William Dean -  the class, officially designated 2301, has become universally known as the Dean  Goods. A successful and very attractive engine, it was typically  Victorian-looking with rather rakish lines, half cab, typical Swindon  copper-capped chimney, large dome and brass safety valve bonnet. One survives,  number 2516, in Swindon Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is a superbly made engine to Keith Wilson's design, serialised  in \"Model Engineer\" starting in 1997. Work to date comprises a  beautifully built air running chassis, completed smokebox and compensated steam  brakes.Working on the principle that you would buy a copper boiler, and  that the platework on a Dean is minimal, the locomotive itself could be got up  and running in relatively short order, (leaving plenty of time on the workshop  for all that rivetting on the tender).\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA well-advanced project which has the potential to produce a  very high quality engine when finished.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 40 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Driving wheels 8 inch diameter\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003eI have a lot of pictures of these engines,  however I would particularly like a picture of 2564.
