Re: Not LNER I know but....
How nice! Thanks!
23 attempts on one side.
33 on the other. Then I gave up and used nuts and bolts.
I counted them. Sad, aren't I?

*shrugs* You are talking to a person who's listening to J-Pop as he writes this!
What is the prototype anyway? I don't think I've seen that valve gear on a Black Five before...

Re: Not LNER I know but....
The Black Fives had numerous variations i'm assuming that the above picture shows one of the class with Capprotti valve gear.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

It's Stephenson valve gear, so has a definite S&D/NER provenance.
So - did anyone dare tell Stephenson, "It's not Rocket science"?
