Great Central Railway Swithland Leicestershire 29th May 2011

On the footplate of LMS Fowler 0-6-0T Jinty/Jocko 47406 and all's well as we approach Swithland viaduct. The steam pressure is hovering near the red line at 156psi and as we level off I will soon have to put the pump on to control blowing off. The dial on the right is the vacuum gauge and the small ejector is making 22 inches of mercury. Note the extension to the regulator which puts the lever in just the right place for driving and saves having to lean across to adjust the smaller original lever. My driver Al, who worked on these locos at Saltley shed, told me that the extension wasn't fitted in BR days but every driver rostered on the shunt would carry his own and bolt it on himself. On the left the brass contraption is the sight feed lubricator while the lever dead centre is not, despite appearances, the key to wind up the clockwork motor but the main manifold shut-off valve.

New shut-off valve and copper line to the wall.

This was the fix that made all the rest have to happen. I figured it'd be easier to do with the vanity out. It took a bit of tweaking before it stopped leaking. I had to do a lot of sanding of the existing copper tubing above the compression joint, as the oxidation makes it just enough bigger that the brass sleeves and nuts don't want to go over the pipe.
