Yes, its worn  particularly the die blocks which are   the Achilles heel of Hackworth gear, particularly if not kept regularly oiled    but it runs quietly and pulls well, indeed if you had no shame whatsoever   you could front up at the club this weekend and pull people around with it.\u003co:p\u003e   \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMuch better would be to get it in the workshop this winter,   repaint it, clean up the motionwork properly, make a new pair of die blocks and,   if youre really going to push the boat out, fit some decent valves in the cab   (if you look at the Stafford page you can see the type and layout we   favour here).\u003co:p\u003e   \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e   Locomotive 55 inches\u003cbr\u003e   Tender 35 inches\u003co:p\u003e   \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHydraulic test 25-11-2010\u003cbr\u003e   Steam test 25-11-2010\u003co:p\u003e   \u003c\/o:p\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019914236245,"sku":"4436","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/4436-1.webp?v=1779908363","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-romulus-with-tender-stock-code-4436","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
