Website for this tiny two-footer, one of many in the UK. Appears to be a newly-built line on a farmsite, not a historic one, with some of the tiniest little engines you can imagine. http://www.amertonrailway.co.uk/ ryarger@rypn.org |

Instead of numerous dogs holding the door shut, many UK engines have a screw arrangement, whereby one or two handles will tighten and hold the door shut. The "clock hands" are those handles. > why do the UK engine's smokeboxes always > look like a clock dial? http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?december02/12-27-02/CEGB-0-4-0STa-BW-280156.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |
