Sherpa reveals its secrets!

A look at the footplate of this narrow gauge steam engine whilst at the Barmouth turn-around halt. A 0-4-0ST, build in 1987 by Milner Engineering and based on the Class B Sharp Stewart locomotives of the Darjeeling Himalaya Railway. This was to set-off back a few minutes after snapping this and so must have been almost ready here for the off. See last photo for the big event!

Aye, as I said to Roger above, I think there was some room on the coal tender. Glad you liked the important detail here.

No, not an optional but a very necessary one. Glad you liked it.

Best Wishes. Herbert

Capturing some detail on what is essentially a technical shot is, I think, all important. Of course more detail comes out on the original which is almost 3 times the size as this. The three dials look like pressure gauges, I would have thought that a temp gauge would have been there too. The two glasses are also gauges to see both tank water levels and possibly the rate of rise and fall too but I am only guessing here Keith. Glad you liked them both and as you say they needed to be a pair here.

Cheers. Herb
