Echo 257 Posted August 9, 2017 Nice to see a model of these locos. Just curious, but should there be 4 safety valves or just 2? Some photos I have seen suggest only 2, but I am not really sure. One day I hope to do one in 2mm scale. Link to comment
James Harrison 4,203 Posted August 9, 2017 Nice to see a model of these locos. Just curious, but should there be 4 safety valves or just 2? Some photos I have seen suggest only 2, but I am not really sure. One day I hope to do one in 2mm scale. Cheers. The relevant RCTS 'Green Bible' for the class states that the original Kitson boilers had a twin column Ramsbottom valve; replacement Gorton-built boilers had a four-column pattern. Considering the problems Tuxford had with water damage to boilers, and my 1918-22 modelling period, I consider it more than likely the loco would have been reboilered at least once. What can I say, I just love it to bits Thank you! Link to comment
