At some  point the builder has fallen out of bed with the \"words and music\" and  not put enough offset in the eccentric rods, so they just touch at one point -  they need removing and setting with a little heat. The cylinders and valve chest  are complete and fitted with drain cocks.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe part-built boiler is well done, with decently flanged plates  - work comprises barrel, inner and outer fireboxes, front tubeplate and  throatplate.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThe tender is complete and fitted with an enormous hand pump,  together with the engine's running boards it may be from another engine which  has been stripped for bits.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eQuite a lot done, quite a lot to do, although not too much left  to buy other than some boiler fittings and a lubricator. I think the MoK is one  of LBSC's better designs, they go very well.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eIf you want to have a look at a complete specimen, \u003ca href=\"..\/2483\/index.htm\"\u003ethere's  one in stock on the locomotives page.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLength\u003cbr\u003e  Locomotive 37 inches\u003cbr\u003e  Tender 23 inches\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019886350677,"sku":"2536","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/2536-1.webp?v=1779907980","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/part-built-maid-of-kent-stock-code-2536","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
