I steamed Tal on Friday as standby loco. Slow warm-up then a bit of compressed air to raise pressure a bit encase she was called on. In the end she sat there all day not required but it was fun preparing and steaming her on my own including full fireman's prep. There was barely anyone around, it was nice bringing her to life without assistance. Ofcourse, I was asked to do it and was checked on periodically to ensure all was well, which it was. Proud!
I'm an FR trainee fireman you see, lol.
Very nice loco. Thumbs up! :)
