I rated it last time it was here, so it was no  surprise that it steamed up quickly and ran very nicely on the rolling road –  it goes well, keeps itself in steam and water, safety valves are a joy, opening  spot on the red line and snapping shut with a most satisfying thwock. \u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCommercially-built silver soldered copper boiler by  Chambers with superheaters, working pressure 80psi, feed by injector, axle and  hand pumps – the injector is plumbed to pick up water from a tank on a driving  truck. Gunmetal cylinders with slide valves actuated by Walschaert's gear with  pole reverser in cab. Mechanical lubricator behind buffer beam driven by  eccentric from leading axle.\u003co:p\u003e  \u003c\/o:p\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA good engine, it runs quietly notched up nearly to  mid-gear.
