A Steam Up with Bluebell

A late winter steam up with my Polly 1 1/2 in February with my good friend Zach Bond (of DVLR fame). Unfortunately, the axle pump failed, the handpump connection pipe blew a leak, and the cylinder cocks weren't shutting correctly. So she was limping a bit, but, we kept her going for the day through rain and shine!

Nice engine, looks like it really was struggling!

[ColumbineMHLR]

@LlongfordRailway Cheers! It certainly was, it's being repaired at the moment, a proper hydrostatic lubricator is going on and the other bits sorting.

yet another locomotive with an Irish regulator,a normal regulator rotates anticlockwise to open and clockwise to close,the same as any standard valve.

Oh no, what a shame.

What an amazing steam loco and miniature railway. Not sure we could fit this into Pine Tree Junction but we could try! New project.
