{"product_id":"stuart-twin-victoria-stock-code-12438","title":"Stuart Twin Victoria","description":"A Stuart Twin Victoria mill engine, an imposing size model, attractively presented with polished brightwork and dark crimson livery.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Machining is in the main to a good standard, however the engine needs work including resetting the valves - it turns over freely but doesn't currently run on air - and refixing a loose flycrank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The flywheel runs out and really needs boring and sleeving to correct - interestingly the engine has been set up with cranks at 180 degrees to each other, meaning the engine doesn't self start. While refixing the flycrank it would be an easy - and worthwhile - thing to rectify.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Funnily enough, we once had an otherwise well made 3 1\/2 inch gauge Britannia come in, unsteamed from new, with the exact same problem - the wheels were \"quartered\" at 180 degrees, rather than 90, giving two dead centres per revolution - rather more of a problem in a locomotive than a stationary engine. We've often wondered what the builder thought when, after a few years toil he finally got to run the engine on air...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    Includes free UK shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009797116245,"sku":"12438","price":875.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12438-1.webp?v=1779899257","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/stuart-twin-victoria-stock-code-12438","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
