An exhibition award winning 5 inch gauge model of a London North Western Railway Teutonic Class 2-2-2-0 tender locomotive No 1304 'Jeanie Deans', built by Mr David Roberts of Eccles.Manchester. The silver soldered copper boiler fitted with stainless steel radiant superheaters, water feed via two injectors feeding into backhead check valves, which is as fitted to the full size locomotives. Fittings including water sight gauge, normal on the LNW, regulator,whistle fitted high near the cab roof, screw reverser controls as per the high pressure engines, the low pressure cylinder is fitted with slip eccentric gear which cannot be reversed by the driver when stationary. Chassis having three cylinders fitted with inverted Joy valve gear , high pressure cylinders 1 3/16th diameter by 2 1/8 in stroke.Low pressure cylinder 2 5/8th diameter by 2 1/8th stroke. Cylinder lubrication is by a double ram oscillating pump underneath the engine, with separate feeds to the high pressure steam chests. The oil tank is filled by a pipe on the left hand side. There is in addition provision for oiling the HP cylinders by removing the screw over the cylinders. The low pressure piston can be lubricated by oiling down the blast pipe, this valve being of the balanced type. The tender is of timber framed construction, the timbers joined by steel angles; an archaic method by 1890, but used on all Webb's tenders. The draw is transmitted from the loco by two steel rods to the rear hook to avoid strains on the woodwork . The locomotive finely finished with fitted hand rails, steps and lamp irons. -360-334 Awards: The locomotive was awarded Second Prize at the Midlands Exhibition, 1996, and a Silver Medal at the Model Engineer Exhibition, Olympia, in December 1998 . * Original full size Locomotive history: LONDON & NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY 3-Cylinder Compound Express Passenger Locomotive 'Jeanie Deans 'Teutonic" Class. -360-334 The old London & North Western had ten of these engines. They were built at the company s Crewe Works in 1889-90 under the direction of Francis Webb, Chief Mechanical Engineer and were modified versions of the earlier Dreadnought class. -360 The engines used Webb s system of compounding, in which steam from the boiler passes to the two outside cylinders, driving the back wheels. The exhaust passes to a single cylinder driving the centre axle. The axles were not coupled so all the initial starting effort was provided by the back wheels and, in addition the low pressure cylinder was fitted with a slip eccentric and could not be reversed from the cab, making the engines notoriously bad starters. -360-334 Despite their faults, the Teutonics are regarded as the best of Webb s 3-cylinder compounds and hauled many of the North-Western s principal expresses throughout the eighteen-nineties. After Webb s retirement in 1903 his successor quickly scrapped these engines. Jeanie Deans was broken up in 1906. * Jeanie Deans is the heroine of Sir Walter Scott s novel Heart of Midlothian , the engine being exhibited in Edinburgh in 1890. -360-334

Whilst the engine has spent much of its life on display, it was built as a running model and has proved a fine performer on the track - its last outing was in July of this year at the Echills Wood Railway's "Standard Gauge Weekend" event. Built as one of a legendary pair, her sister locomotive is in a private collection in Switzerland. * The British Railways BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 is a class of steam locomotive designed for British Railways by Robert Riddles. The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardized locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever constructed in Britain, and successfully performed its intended duties. The class earned a nickname of 'Spaceships', due to its size and shape. At various times during the 1950s the 9Fs worked passenger trains with great success, indicating the versatility of the design, sometimes considered to represent the ultimate in British steam development. Several experimental variants were constructed in an effort to reduce costs and maintenance, although these met with varying degrees of success. The total number built was 251, production being shared between Swindon (53) and Crewe Works (198). The last of the class, 92220 Evening Star , was the final steam locomotive to be built by British Railways, in 1960. Withdrawals began in 1964, with the final locomotives removed from service in 1968. Several examples have survived into the preservation era in varying states of repair, including Evening Star .
