@valvegearvy.bsky.social and I were talking about how the BR Standards are basically copies of other locomotives, and then I joked about how the A1 was a 'copy' of the Stirling Single and now i have the thought of the HST's being a copy of the Coalbrookdale Locomotive

In the years before Domitia, Bia was often sent up to the quarry if extra help was needed, or if the vertical boiler usually employed was under repair or refused to steam.

Loco Legend Works 'Myth' Class; "Redcap"
Styled in preservation to the L&PR's needs, Redcap comes from Scotland, originally built for the Calcots & Dores railway.
She was saved from scrap and floated all the way down to Portethwaite.

In 1934, the PH&E did mass shopping on the MK-4's, and subsequently re-equipped them with coil type feed water heaters instead of the previous bundle.
The coil was a better overall design, with only two coils instead of fifteen bundles. They were easier to wash and service. (Part 3)

The mass rebuilding also introduced a larger sand dome, the installation of Automatic Train Control (ATC), and steam heat lines.
This brought the heavy mike fleet up to dual service standards, and they were seen both powering freight and passengers until retirement in 1958. (Part 4)

Been silent for a hot second, I have been cooking up a lot of things all in a short amount of time, expect a flood of equipment in the next few days.
In the meantime, have this second-hand PH&E MT-2.
