He kept with the three cylinder  configuration of the original, but offered both Walschaert's and Baker valve  gear with either slide or piston valves. Many examples of this large, powerful  engine have been built - they go well, one of the master's better efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is a nicely made chassis for a piston-valved, Baker gear  A1. It turns over smoothly and is complete with reverser, drain cocks and  linkage, mechanical lubricator, cylinder steam and blast pipes. There is also a  complete flanged boiler kit from Reeves, a good quantity of brass sheet, an 80%  complete 8-wheeled tender chassis and most of a tank to go thereon.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThere is a clean set of drawings and a box full of odds and ends  including new hand pump, pressure gauge, banjo steam collector, whistle,  part-fabricated grate etc.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eStill a good bit of work to do, but a well-advanced project to a  good standard - it needs time rather than money from here on. It's grubby state  comes from storage in a garage for many years, it is mainly cosmetic and cleans  up well.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eParts are still available from Reeves, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vault1.secured-url.com\/reeves2000\/shop_item.asp?sub_cat_id=33\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elisted  here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019940614485,"sku":"2843","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2843-1.webp?v=1779908695","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/part-built-hielan-lassie-stock-code-2843","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
