  • Fair play but Firing when the loco blowing it nuts off where is the sense in that pry tell

  • The fireman has not had time to fill the back end up so he is playing catch up, if he had a back end on he would not need to pick up the shovel until after Kingthorpe, I know I fire and drive the NYMR.

  • I would say the Fireman is making work for him self .All most firing none stop then Blowing all his hard work out of the roof.

  • Its an amazing bit of film that is. Just shows what NYMR is all about, still firing the old fashioned way of firing up to the door on the slope. Mind you, with those gradients I'm guessing that you wouldn't keep steam for long if you didn't! I fire on the Battlefield Line, 5 miles and fairly flat so seeing this is amazing :) 5*

  • @fenderibo He pumps the regulator as to not put too much steam into the cylinders which would cause a slip, but the loco gets stuck in 'dead centre' so has to wind it into forward, get it to move, then wind it back and start again.

  • I've read of 'first valve' and 'second valve' and 'double beat regulators' but don't really understand what's meant by them. Could anybody explain? Grea video. Thanks

  • @KinletHallsthebest OK thanks but pumping the regulator isnt going to create more steam...is it?

  • Why is the driver pumping the regulator at 6:26?

  • excellent footage iain well done mate
