Re: Clack valves
Ah but at Botanic Gardens we had our "own " engines and the brass and copper was highly polished also the black bits gleaming with cylinder oil and elbow grease.
My driver would have had a fit if I had taken a coal hammer to the injector body and left a mark on it. Coal hammers may have done the trick on common user engines but not to the pride and joy of your own.
