Londontram Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 On the right hand side connected to the slide rod on the motion of the LNWR 2-2-2 Lady of the Lake/problem class is this piece of equipment fitted just under the running plate. Would I be right in thinking its a force feed boiler water pump? Here's a close up and a more general view. Thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that was the time of day, it was a Tuesday in March I believe and it was raining and that famous Scottish loco expert Angus McCoatup was in a bad mood and wanted to be away for his tea said at 18-38 let's get rid of those bloody vacuum pumps. Warning the the sorce of the information is a bit patchy so there is a slight..... a very slight possibility that might not be true and ive just made it up. Anyway joking aside thanks again for all you help chaps Steve 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
