{"product_id":"7-14-inch-gauge-romulus-with-driving-truck-stock-code-2350","title":"7 1\/4 inch gauge Romulus with driving truck","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAnother example of one of Roger Marsh's most popular designs,  Romulus. This one, built in 1997, has spent its life on a local garden railway, it follows the  original design fairly closely with the exception of Walschaert's valve gear in  place of the usual Hackworth. The builder has built several steam engines in 7  1\/4 inch gauge (of  which this was the smallest!). Although fine detailing and a deluxe paint finish  is not his forte, all are strong-running locomotives with many practical details  (the copious oiling pots for axleboxes and motionwork and effective steam brakes  among them) which make for an ideal hard-working garden railway or club engine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eProfessionally-built steel boiler with expanded tubes, fed by injector and axle pump.  Cast iron cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's valve gear, pole  reverser in cab. Rod-operated drain cocks, mechanical cylinder lubricator driven  from crosshead. Backhead fittings include water gauge with blowdown, external  regulator, ashpan damper control and steam brake. The locomotive has a  screw-down brake, the driving truck has a separate hand brake and contains a  full length water tank. There are a set of firing irons and safety valve  adjustment tool included.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eI have driven this engine several times and find it a  delight. Like all Roger Marsh designs, the experience is very much of driving a  small real engine rather than a large model.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWorking pressure 100 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 54 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Driving truck 36 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHeight 33 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eWeight in working order approx 6cwt\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019081306453,"sku":"2350","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2350-1.webp?v=1779901664","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-romulus-with-driving-truck-stock-code-2350","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
