@super58173 The face on the front serves the engine when going uphill. The face on the back is for the engine to see the track and area behind itself when going downhill. That way, the engines can see in both directions clearly and can keep an eye on the track, to prevent slippage and accidents, like rolling downhill too fast.
you should take the illustrations with a pinch of salt. Believe me mate, I know. The tanks are like that on the real thing. The only non-tilted items on the Snowdon Mountain Railway are the ill-fated railcars.
By tilting the engine, weight distribution is equal, making it easier to go up and down the mountain.
are these engines hard to convert to 009 gauge topkazfatt? i plan in building my own little narrow gauge moutaoin railway and by the way love all the engines u have built! 1000/5
the reason that is because when he goes up a hill he tilts doesnt he so the boiler is tilted downwods so the water doesn't expose the fire fox so godred does'nt explode
holy shizz, where is the rack and pinion track from? is the loco converted from the toys? good work by the way, ive always wanted a rack and pinion railway, but noone in the UK makes it.
Amazing! Can you do Ernest (No. 2), Wilfred (No. 3), Shane Dooiney (No. 5), Alaric (No. 7) and Eric? That way you could make a TV adaptation of Mountain Engines.
uuhhhhhhh i like the video but the music is just uuggghhh annoying.

actually, the engines on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which are the basis for the Culdee Fell Railway engines, do not tilt forward.
igotbragginrites 3 years ago
They do, I have been there several times, and both steam and diesel locomotives lean forwards slightly.
StanierJack 3 years ago
if you see the engines on the Snowdon Mountain Railway (visit the site) you'll notice that only the boiler tilts forward.
and the illustration you mainly see Culdee in, his boiler is the only thing tilting.
AND the illustration mainly seen with Godred in it, only the boiler tilts.

The reason why the mountain engines are slanted is because the back wheels are bigger than the front ones.Other than that; they look like others
