{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-lilla-0-4-0st-stock-code-9885","title":"7 1\/4 inch gauge Hunslet \"Lilla\" 0-4-0ST","description":"A well-built 7 1\/4 inch gauge \"Lilla\", doubled up from Ross Harrison's 3 1\/2 inch gauge Penrhyn Hunslet design. Larger than the more common Alice class, it makes for a large engine in this gauge - we sold a complete one earlier in the year, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-lillla-0-4-0st-with-tender-stock-code-9284\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ethere are pictures of that one in the archive here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The engine is the work of a talented and prolific model engineer, a man with many years in industry behind him (and a workshop I covet, with Schaublin and Hardinge lathes, two milling machines and more finely honed tools and drills that you can imagine!). With interests spanning locomotives, stationary engines and internal combustion engines - from vintage open crank through any number of Westbury designs to vintage model aeroplane engines - his house and workshop have something to see on every shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    With advancing years the Hunslet, as the build has progressed, has now become too heavy to work on, let alone contemplate handling when complete. With another, smaller 7 1\/4 inch gauge locomotive on the bench, along with several stationary engines, it's time to let a new builder take over the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Work to date is to a fine standard, machining is crisp, fit and finish of parts good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Complete with boiler documentation, drawings, patterns for castings and a purpose-made steel building frame, allowing the chassis to be turned over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009724600661,"sku":"9885","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/9885-1.webp?v=1779898956","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-hunslet-lilla-0-4-0st-stock-code-9885","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
