Tornado question
My friend has sent me a video of Tornado at Alnmouth and the air pump sound is very noticeable. Is this a Westinghouse pump and where is it located.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Re: Tornado question
I think it's a Westinghouse pump - don't quote me on that - but Tornado actually has two, and they are located between the main frames. Tornado has a main pump and an identical backup pump.52D wrote:My friend has sent me a video of Tornado at Alnmouth and the air pump sound is very noticeable.

Yes, but she has two air pumps, which was the crux of the question.2512silverfox wrote:I think you will find that she has air and vacuum brakes.
Spare Pump overhauled
Re: Tornado question
Vacuum only used on preserved lines tho. Not sure what type of air pumps they are. Possibly ex polish pumps.2512silverfox wrote:I think you will find that she has air and vacuum brakes.
