One of the late, legendary Eric Walker's creations I bought it  from him new in 2006, it's been back to us a couple of times since as people  have traded up - this time it's back in part exchange for one of our Staffords,  last time it was for a Feldbahn.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cfont color=\"#FF0000\"\u003ePictures  below were taken this morning, words are from last time it was here. Other than  a missing injector, it looks to be in similar mechanical order to the last time  we had it.\u003c\/font\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2013:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eI sold this one back in 2006 soon after it was out-shopped from the mighty  Kirton Light Railway works. It went to a new home in a picturesque part of  Cumbria - the intention had been to use it but the new owner's interests soon  extended to 10 1\/4 inch gauge, with the result it's sat in his shed for the last  seven years. Recently come back as a part exchange, it's in, as far as I can  see, exactly the same condition as you see in the pictures below, taken in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHydraulic test @150psi for 100psi working pressure, 28-May-2013\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2006:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCompleted in October 2005, this was the last engine built for the railway.  Intended as a powerful shunter, it has a Sweet William-derived boiler although  with a fair dash of Tinkerbell thrown in (as you might imagine).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSteel boiler with expanded in copper tubes, working pressure 100psi. Marine  type firebox. Feed by twin injectors, fed from water tank in driving truck. Cast  iron cylinders, slide valves actuated by Walschaert's valve gear with pole  reverser in cab. Mechanical lubricator. Roller bearing axle boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere is a driver's truck with water tank and hand brake. Didn't get a chance  to steam test this one when the boiler inspector was here on Tuesday, so it  comes with his hydraulic certificate. However, steamed it down at the club  yesterday - it wants a degree of fine tuning to the valves, but otherwise seemed  to take off like a rocket (although that may have been more to the elan with  which Alan drives).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLocomotive:\u003cbr\u003e  Length 41 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Width 20 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 42 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWeight approx 300 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020164649301,"sku":"7150","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/7150-1.webp?v=1779911606","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/7-14-inch-narrow-gauge-0-6-0-with-driving-truck-stock-code-7150","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
