We bought this one from the late builder's son back in 2014 - sold later that year, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-0-4-0st-stock-code-7441\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewe sold it again in 2017.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Currently looks like a bucket of poo - we're determined to find it an owner this time round with narrow gauge sympathies and a basic understanding of what a cleaning rag and flue brush looks like!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Paintwork is tired, that on the tender looks like it's been dragged down the M6 on its side (or both sides, to be strictly accurate).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Chassis is immensely grubby, backhead has acquired a clumsy looking double clack (replacing what was actually quite a nice twin clack previously fitted), pressure gauge has been moved and is now suspended from a monstrous looking brass bracket. And the nameplates are probably the nastiest we've ever seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    But - there's always a but...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Underneath the muck and clumsy modifications made over the years, there's a well made engine that steams freely and runs well - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U8yS1RPEGFo\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere's some video of Connor pottering about on it earlier today here.\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    There is some nice, typically Hunslet detailing - brass firebox cleading, elegantly shaped brake handle, dumb buffers, brass shrouded safety valves - which it would be nice to keep and accentuate by throwing away the less sympathetic additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    What is really needs is a winter overhaul with repaint and removal of the more offensive carbuncles. With current club certification on the boiler and new commercial certification for hydraulic and steam tests, it could be run to the end of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009793380693,"sku":"9741","price":6500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/9741-1.webp?v=1779899222","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-0-4-0st-stock-code-9741","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
