This gorgeous piece of machinery has been heavily restored over a period of years and was attracting much attention. Note the multi chime whistle behind the front spring - it's not a machine gun despite appearances. Steam cars like this are complex pieces of kit and quite a way removed from the big stationary engines I help drive at Claymills.
