{"product_id":"allchin-traction-engine-stock-code-3895","title":"Allchin traction engine","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA 1 1\/2 inch scale Allchin traction engine built to Hughes'  \"Royal Chester\" design. It's an old model which has stood on the  builder's bookshelf for many years - having completed this one he moved onto  building a 3 inch Burrell, followed by fourteen 3 inch scale farm wagons and  carriages, a doubled-up Westbury Shand-Mason fire engine and a variety of  interesting artillery, including a terrifying looking Gatling gun...\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe engine has never been steamed - the builder bought a  commercially-made boiler, although he forgets from where (we're talking getting  on for forty years ago here). It looks very good, silver-soldered copper  construction, although I can't find a maker's mark on it. Rest of the engine is  nicely done, although the motion work is notchy - part of this is down to the  fact that there are several decades of muck and dust in the workings and not  much of a trace of oil anywhere, however it really wants the top end stripping,  cleaning and fettling.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength 26 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Height 17 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Weight 64 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54010203570517,"sku":"3895","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/3895-1.webp?v=1779900874","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/allchin-traction-engine-stock-code-3895","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
