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
