murrayec Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Here are a few photos of a Gauge 1 Adler loco in the workshop for some minor repairs, it's my next favourite loco after the Hibernia, and maybe a few others from the Dublin & Kingstown Railway era! It's a lovely model by Marklin and has some beautiful detailing- and working valve gear. Eoin. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMCE Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Lovely looking model and the valve gear looks great. Flange depth on wheels is rather deep though. How is it driven - I don't see any gears on the loco. Is it tender driven, or by chance is it driven through the valve gear? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broithe Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I wonder how often the crew tripped over those splashers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the splashes would be a problem but I'd be more worried of being knocked back by those driver levers- they would swing back and forward alternatively which were used by the driver to adjust the valve timing.

Galteemore Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Yes I’ve seen that on early locos. Must have caused a few injuries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
