@EMD645E Yes 1275 was always a oil burner she was one of a batch built late by North British as a stop gap untill the deasils arived , the Hill side Ja's 1271 1250 and the likes of were built as coal burners and always were , the North British J's were also built as coal burners and most remained as such untill the end how ever some were converted to burn oil and reclasified Jb's I hope this helps
@mainliner1240 Ok, thanks for that info. I know here in the states we do things a little different. Some places here use high pressure steam to help pre-warm the boiler as well. You're a lucky man. Ja1275 is a beautiful machine. and the Bagnall is great. It almost looks like a toy next to the J. Was 1275 always a oil burner? I know I saw a video of a Ja1271 and it was a coal burner.
@EMD645E That explains a lot! I only said this because my dad is a driver on the Vale of Rheidol Railway, Wales and he has worked with the locomotives there for 23 years, which, have burned oil for more than 30 years. The Rheidol's engines are smaller so all they have to do is hook the atomizer up, and light the cotton waste and you have a fire!
Love it… Great way to do it with the steam hose. Gives you ability to use everything in the 1275 and it warms it's boiler up too prior to being lit off.
@JacSGWR They are lighting the smaller engine on wood then coal. It can build steam quicker being a smaller boiler. They then use a hose to run steam from the little engine to the larger one. This way they have steam to operate the atomizer and oil feed of the larger engine. It also warms up the boiler which reduces the stress on the boiler when it's fire is lit.

If this engine is an oil burner, why would you need to use wood and coal as you said in the video? Great video to watch nevertheless!
