{"product_id":"fowler-k5-ploughing-engine-stock-code-1547","title":"Fowler K5 ploughing engine","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare, finely-engineered model in super condition of a Fowler K5 ploughing  engine.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eIntroduced by Fowler in the late nineteenth century, the K5 was designed as a  dual purpose engine for ploughing and general farm duties. A large, powerful  machine it was capable of belt-driving implements from the flywheel or ploughing  using the two-speed winch slung beneath the boiler.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThis engine is in excellent running order. It has been road registered (taxed  until March 2003) and is  complete with passenger trolley, set of firing irons and steam-raising  blower. The winch drum engagement and high\/low speed selection is controlled by  a pair of levers on the nearside hornplate - useful for getting your car out of  muddy rally fields at the end of an English summer afternoon! The  paintwork is good in lined-out Fowler black. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThe steel boiler has just been tested, with a new certificate expiring June  2003. It is fed by a  mechanical feed pump driven from the second shaft and injector. Working pressure  is 100 psi, controlled by two highly efficient pop safety valves fitted beneath  the dummy Salter valves on the cylinder block. A stainless steel ashpan is fitted with side-mounted damper controlled  from the footplate. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eIn 3 inch scale, the K5 comes out larger than many 4 inch models - over 6  feet long and weighing around 700 pounds. The large firebox and boiler makes for  easy driving and, with the distinctive single-cylinder exhaust bark and ringing  from the large winch and drive gears the overall sight and sound is highly  evocative of the full-size original. \u003c\/p\u003e      \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009509904725,"sku":"1547","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/1547-1.webp?v=1779898002","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/fowler-k5-ploughing-engine-stock-code-1547","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
