It came to us recently in part exchange for a 5 inch Class 66, the previous owner having found the Wren too large and heavy to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    It has been serviced in the workshop and various minor teething problems - expected with any new locomotive - resolved. The original safety valves accumulated and had been set to open early in an attempt to \"cure\" the fault. That never works - if a valve accumulates it's either undersized for the boiler or got the wrong or tired spring in it, which no amount of fiddling with the adjuster will fix!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The safety valves - needless to say - have been replaced, the regulator gland has been repacked (you previously needed asbestos fingers to drive the thing).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The commercially built CE-marked boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Those jobs done, it now steams freely and runs beautifully - as close to a brand new narrow gauge engine as you're going to get without ordering one of ours!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    We like this one - it's a nicely made engine in first class condition. Well painted in prototypical livery - with hand lined and signwritten tank - it has captured the look of the full-size engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Offered with 12 months warranty, set of firing irons and a starter kit of coal and oil - we would be more than happy to give half a day's instruction on the steaming, running and disposal of the engine to a new owner if required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019152970069,"sku":"12685","price":7500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12685-1.webp?v=1779902306","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-kerr-stuart-wren-0-4-0-st-stock-code-12685","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
