Turf Burner

[airfixfan]

There was an article on the trials etc of this loco with good colour photos by John Click in Steam World in the 1990s. Trying to track this article down and can anyone help with relevant details? Thanks

The NRM in York has a full set of Click's pictures of it being built. Very detailed and very technical, but essential for anyone who really wants absolute chapter and verse on it.

You have to visit the place and get a researcher to help you - it's not online.

Difficult to leave the Island at present. Looking for that article so I can buy a copy.

I've seen an article on the Turf Burner sonewhere I'm sure and I'm wondering if it might've been in an IRRS journal. I'll check in a bit.

Thanks this was in a magazine with excellent colour photos of CC1 on trial which has got lost in the mists of time.

Hi Airfixfan,

I take it that my PM was not what you were looking for?

Thanks LM thought I had sent you a PM. Have that Backtrack article.

Article is in March 1992 issue with great colour photos and a picture of CC1 beside 800 at Inchicore.
