Advancing years has meant a reluctant parting of the  ways, at 400 pounds the engine has become to heavy to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver soldered superheated copper boiler, 100psi working  pressure, feed by twin injectors with water carried in driving truck. Cast iron  cylinders with piston valves actuated by Walschaert's gear with screw reverser  in cab. The valve gear has been case-hardened throughout and is in excellent  order, pistons are equipped with the estimable Clupet rings - piston valves are  equipped with rings supplied by Clupet but, at this size, to a plain section  rather than their standard \"black magic\" design. Vacuum brakes with  driver's brake valve next to the driver's seat, with blower valve on the stand  below. Steam brakes to locomotive, operated by a beautiful scale Gresham \u0026amp;  Craven brake valve. Speedometer, pressure and vacuum gauges all function, we haven't tested  the carriage heating...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eHardly worth mentioning the level of detail achieved on this  one, given the pictures below - I think Ron Martin's 9F is the only 7 1\/4 engine  we've had built to a similar standard. Worth commenting on odd things such as  the dummy slacking pipe in the cab, push-pull gear fitted alongside the smokebox  and working speedometer, worked by a tiny Hall sensor hidden in the Smiths  gearbox and driven by the return crank.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine is in good mechanical condition, boiler has just had  hydraulic and steam tests and it runs beautifully. Paintwork is tired although  looks close to typical \"working clothes\" appearance - I would be  tempted simply to re-touch in places, then simply enjoy driving it!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eComplete with a stand with built-in rolling road and an  Aristocraft driving truck, plumbed up to supply water direct to the  injectors.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 60 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 400 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009564922197,"sku":"6177","price":21500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6177-1.webp?v=1779898273","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-gauge-standard-class-2-tank-with-driving-truck-stock-code-6177","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
