The impressive hills of that district afforded  good publicity shots of this engine at work which Wallis \u0026amp; Steevens used in  their advertising at the time.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a long working life, the engine passed into preservation, undergoing a  comprehensive overhaul from 1991 to 1994, at which time the boiler was fitted  with new firebox, barrel, tubeplate\/tubes, smokebox and ashpan. Re-tubed again  in 2002, the engine is in  excellent condition throughout - it came to us having last been tested in 2005,  we believe it have been little, if ever, used since that time.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe engine has been painted and lined in recent years, the previous owner  kept it under cover, cleaned and polished regularly. The original corrugated tin  Wallis \u0026amp; Steevens canopy has been lined with a finely made planked inner  roof.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoiler has had its ten year inspection with cladding off followed by  hydraulic test - it's in good order. We've had it in steam today for  the boiler inspector, it's a nice thing to drive, the geared steering and twin  cylinder simple expansion engine making for a very easy to handle machine.  Boiler feed is by a pair of Gresham lifting injectors.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete with an excellent set of canvas sheets, spares and a good deal of  history with photographic record of its rebuild and copy of the original maker's  handbook.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing really to do by way of work on this one other than book up for a few  rallies and road runs for next year and enjoy it!    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydraulic test @210psi for 140psi working pressure 1-Oct-2015, valid to  30-Sep-2025\u003cbr\u003e  Steam test 2-Oct-2015, valid to 1-Dec-2016    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54009565938005,"sku":"6681","price":41250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/6681-1.webp?v=1779898279","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/wallis-steevens-advance-10-ton-steam-roller-stock-code-6681","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
