07 - The evolution of No. 2 "ENID" - an 0-4-0 + 0-4-0 Garratt style loco
Rea Valley Light Railway @ fotopic.net
Seen here is the original ENID built around a Mamod performing on the RVLR in 1982 - The bodywork is made from aluminium with an increase in the width and cab height over the Mamod loco - A displacement lubricator has been fitted but the fire is still the standard solid fuel tray - In this guise ENID was an excellent steamer and performed very well which led to the idea of trying to get a little more from a MamodPrevious | NextThe boiler is from the largest of the Mamod stationary engines and is fitted with a simple regulator and displacement lubricator - The globe valve sitting on the footplate is the vacuum filler control for the boiler
