Garden Railway - Richard Everett's Double Fairlie

[ron8197]

Congratulation on building such a wonderful loco.

What an engine! Did I see a blowdown valve operating when the engine was over the pit?

Incidentally, the FR got steam in the 1860's, not the 1830's. As I would n't have a clue where to start on this project, I think I ought to keep quiet!

Yes, he will keep it until he's too old to fire it and then who knows!!! We spent a very enjoyable day with Mark during the filming.

Soooo proud of my Dad! By the way, the Fairlie weighs 5.5 hundred weight and due to piston numbers and diameter does have the equivalent power of a full size traction engine....driver beware that's all I will say!

Has your Dad still got this masterpiece?

[hancockshire]

Very wonderful masterpiece of engineering. I couldn't believe my ears when he said that it was as powerful as a full size traction engine! miniture maybe but not full size. faved and 5 starred
