Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Eastern Region V2 2-6-2 outside Swindon Works while undergoing steaming trials. Between 5/52 and 3/53, LNER Gresley V2 No. 60845 was sent to Swindon for extensive trials on the Locomotive Test Plant there, also out on the road with loads of up to 25 coaches (752 tons) plus dynamometer car. The trials were aimed at improving blast dynamics with a self-cleaning smokebox, but they led to only a few conversions. Here the locomotive is seen outside the Works with a dynamometer car behind it and the housing at the front for the protection of the engineers observing - at very close hand - what was happening 'out on the road'. |
