Still in the  same state as it was then, photographs below were taken this week, words are  from the last time we had it in.\u003c\/font\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally well-built narrow gauge Kerr, Stuart 0-4-2 \"Edward  Thomas\", as running at the Talyllyn Railway. Built by an accomplished  engineer who had already taken an award for a super 3 1\/2 inch gauge Stanier  2-6-4T to Martin Evans' \"Jubilee\" design (and which still occupies  pride of place in his living room), this engine was started over twenty years  ago. It progressed fairly quickly until fifteen years ago, when other things  occupied his time and the project was put aside - a bit unfortunate, as when I  wanted to pick his brains about the beautifully built saddle tank he'd forgotten  how he'd made it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere is a considerable amount of literature with the engine, including a set  of drawings, copies of the original build articles and many photographs, along  with the original club certificate for the twice pressure hydraulic test on  build. Many changes have been made to produce a more authentic model, including  replacing the marine type connecting and coupling rods with machined and fluted  items, as currently fitted to No.4.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWork remaining is mainly platework and plumbing - with most of the boiler  fittings, pressure gauge, injectors etc included and the cab sheets made, works  plates supplied and ready to fit, there is little further expenditure required.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eLength 30 inches    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020155900245,"sku":"6519","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6519-1.webp?v=1779911508","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/part-built-5-inch-gauge-edward-thomas-0-4-2t-stock-code-6519","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
