There certainly is a great deal of tweaking involved. It reminds me of the non-stop interplay between crew and machine required to move a Boeing 727 through the sky.
It was a note for advising the area of line that was having repairs, and in effect the signalman was handing up a tempory speed restriction for that section of line.
The kit consists of: a bullet camera lens, (about 60mm long, 15mm dia) which is connected to a conventional camcorder residing in a small back-pack. The lens can be clipped onto the peak of a cap.
Yes, those are the injectors I keep fiddling with; the brass wheel is the steam valve and the lever is the water valve.
Haven't been up since May, been busy with all sorts of other stuff. But hoping to get back into it in November; not sure if I can remember how to hold a shovel!
i can rember when i did that in 2003 i was watching the fireman putting coal on and he let me have a go at firing. it on it was on the schools class repton that was when i was nine years old.

did you have a camera on your head or something?

Yes, it's my 'head-cam', which I mainly use for flyfishing filming. I was testing the equipment, and needed something appropriate to try it out on.

how do you fit it on? is it strapped on, and what sort of camera is it
also, those brass wheels you keep turning on the fireman's side, are they the injectors?

Due to the wide-angle of the lens, the sweat doesn't show. Believe me, it was there!
