The preservationists corrected a few design faults on the loco, a pity BR did not, a fault was the fuel lifter pumps and narrow bore fuel pipes, when replaced with better items the loco would start easily without flattening the batteries trying to start the engine, and the engine no longer suffered from fuel starvation and carbonisation issues in the turbos etc
Ah, lovely leafy Eridge. Back in the 70’s I worked in London for a time, living in TW and realized that to avoid the Tunbridge Wells central station scrum it was better to use TW West. It certainly was.
Hi Snowyrails Great video could watch over and over again , have only visited the Spa Valley Railway once after seeing this video I must go again. Many thanks for posting. Dave.
Now I know the class 20's are called choppers because at full tilt they sound like helicopters. So would the Clayton's be nicknamed "Planes" ? Because under full throttle they sound an awful lot like single engine light aircraft.
