Puffing Billy - The Garratt returns

[@00Zy99]

Looking at this, the Welsh Highlands, and the Strasburg (in the US), it never ceases to amaze me. These lines have heavier rails, and longer trains in preservation than they ever did before preservation. That really makes me happy, knowing that they are thriving like this.

Just what was done to the garrett to re gauge it from 2 foot to 2 foot 6 inches were the frames cut and 3xpanded then new axles fitted or were the cylinders canted outwards and then new axles

@@michaelnaisbitt7926 good question. I am not sure how or when. It may need some serious searching to find out or it maybe on the puffing billy website?

As much as I love the other trains, the title said the "Garrat returns" so I was expecting to see more of it.

@@martynpegg1483 sometimes i only have time to jump out and grab a photo. Im not very good at video. Still learning setups and stuff. I may do a compilation of the Garratt’s. That would be fun i suppose.

I'm not sure what the schedule is. I just rock up and photograph whatever happens hahaha

[@dons_trains]

Garratt, not Garrett. A Garrett is a turbo charger.

And a Garant is a gun

It is also a Traction Engine....

spell checking also changes it from an a to an e.
