{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-modelworks-britannia-stock-code-3570","title":"7 1\/4 inch gauge ModelWorks Britannia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a complete set of kits for a ModelWorks 7 1\/4 inch gauge Britannia,  with a significant amount of assembly already completed. Bought by a gentleman  who collected each kit direct from the factory, it has been kept in a heated  garage for the last six years and is in pretty much ex-works condition, bar  slight surface rust on the front bogie axles and smokebox.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe chassis has been partially assembled, all parts have been carefully  fettled and fitted , the wheels turn smoothly and freely with the coupling rods  on.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe silver-soldered superheated copper boiler has had an initial 240psi  hydraulic test for 120psi working pressure - it's one of the biggest copper  boilers I've handled, Geoff and I can just about lift it between us.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThree major boxes remained unopened when I collected this one, containing the  platework, cladding and fittings respectively. Having gone through the parts  that are fitted and those still boxed - and given that it is a one owner engine  - I am confident that there is nothing significant missing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI thought that the 5 inch gauge Britannias I sold earlier this year have been  pretty substantial bits of machinery, by comparison this thing is enormous - it  measures nearly nine feet long with the tender and will weigh something around  quarter of a ton when finished. Builders of the 5 inch gauge version of the  ModelWorks Britannia seem to have got to grips putting these engines together,  there are many now running. The 7 1\/4 inch gauge version, although much rarer  than the 5 inch (I believe only 24 were ever built) is a scaled-up version, I  expect much of the accumulated \"know how\" will be of direct benefit to  this build.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eComplete with original build instructions, parts lists, boiler certificate  and documentation for safety valves.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019945529685,"sku":"3570","price":17000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3570-1.webp?v=1779908792","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-modelworks-britannia-stock-code-3570","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
