Computer animation (created by Peter Cooper) of the relatively unknown experimental locomotive built by C W Paget. It featured rotary steam admission valves, single acting uniflow cylinders and a simple gearbox for reversing. Unfortunately the loco allegedly seized up due to unequal expansion within the rotary valve.
I'm making a working replica at a scale of 1:7.793 (7.25" gauge).
Note the eccentric wheel seats on the axles!
Save to your pc and play with repeate turned on, this clip is for 2 complete turns.
