I like green  engines). Built from his own drawings and research, it's been a regular runner  at his club where a combination of weight and number of wheels made for a  capable passenger hauler. Modelled on one of the largest classes of narrow gauge  locomotives built in this country, Hunslet turned out over 150 engines to this  design during the First World War (at the same time as producing arms and  munitions, in common with most other large engineering concerns).  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Welded steel boiler with expanded tubes by Bell Boilers, 100psi working  pressure, feed by twin injectors and twin ram axle pump mounted under the  footplate. Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear,  pole reverser in the cab. Displacement lubricator with sight feeder, it works  very nicely with a fine threaded adjuster allowing the \"drops per  minute\" to be set to a nicety, rather than fiddling around for ages with  nothing coming through followed by a great glob of steam oil filling the glass  completely.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   As might be expected, having run several seasons in the hands of its builder,  the engine is in super condition and well sorted - the injectors are a joy to  use, regulator is smooth in operation, the steam valves are neatly laid out and  fall readily to hand.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   It's had hydraulic and steam tests in the last few days - the boiler is in  excellent condition (it was even still fitted with the boilermaker's solid  blanking plug rather than a fusible variety...), the engine runs well. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=W_qCiU3xyNI\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e There's a  short piece of video of Connor running on an even shorter piece of track outside  the workshop this afternoon in the rain here.\u003c\/a\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e   Length 60 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019980525909,"sku":"7129","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7129-1.webp?v=1779908943","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-4-6-0-stock-code-7129","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
