20 inch gauge news

Its is a little known fact that we have some locomotive built by Ruston. Far as we are aware the only place other than in the country with 20inch gauge is the North Bay Railway in Scarborough.


Here is the loco in the workshop with the bonnet removed.


Close up view of the two cylinder diesel engine.


This engine is a two cylinder air cooled hand start engine. The fuel pump works.


The cylinder head is remove to allow the cleaning and inspection, also the freeing off of the two cylinders.
The engines injectors have been sent off for refurbishment.


Looking down the bore of the cylinders. The engine is now free, and will be reassembled and tried to see if it fires. Watch this space for more news as it happens.
