  • Thats really pretty cool. Would be fun to take a ride on it. Nice to see something that antique still operating.

  • @jmgurney22 ebay should have a few - im considering fitting one as a lawnmower engine throttle one day if I get one...

  • can someone tell me where to find an antique telegraph!!???? id really appreciate it.

  • This is what I call driving blind and to trust the bridge via the telegraph. Par Excellence!

  • I saw this one from Waverley when it visited; they really put on a show with billowing smoke and the wheels really thrashing round in the water! Very impressive.

  • I don't know why he's movng the engine only with the throttle and not with the linkage first....
