A1 Terrier Boxhill: The Tenacious Tank Engine that Helped Build South London | Curator with a Camera
Thomas Spain brings you another fun fact-fest exploring the 19th century lightweight tank engine with both bark and bite - the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway A1 Class ‘Terrier’, Boxhill.
Built in 1880, this plucky old dog had plenty of tricks to deploy over a working life of 66 years hauling commuter services into South London and serving Brighton Works before a well-deserved retirement in the National Collection.
This episode was filmed after hours at the National Railway Museum in York. To find out more, visit www.railwaymuseum.org.uk

    @Tom-Lahaye 9 дней назад

    You almost had to fire on your knees!. I didn't know yet that Boxhill is the only surviving original A1. I think that the holes in the frame are for accessibility to the inside motion parts for oiling. And yes, a feedwater pump because an injector doesn't like to work with hot water, so the pump would be needed if the condensing apparatus was on, likely when traversing the tunnel under the Theems.

    @tjmfarming9584 9 дней назад

    Back breaking indeed! I don't think Stroudly designed these engines to be worked by people above the height of 5'11, that's for sure! But having said that I dont think strapping lads of 6ft 4 were around in that era, judging by the fact that every Victorian/Edwardian locomotive I've stepped on the footplate of I keep having to duck my head because the cab roof is too low, (on Western Australian locomotives anyway) wouldve been quite the shock for a fireman to swap between one of these for an M7 or Ivatt or Standard 4 tank thats for sure!

    Boxhill is one of my all time favourite York exhibits (and might be one of the few still there). It’s a lovely locomotive, with a sleek design and pleasant livery. It has a fairly interesting history and serves as a nice example of one of the greatest tank engine types ever built.

    Funny you have reviews a Terrier as I’ve been to Bluebell today and 72 Fenchurch was in operation. These engines are my biggest personal favourite small locos that I enjoy seeing in action including the one that I mention as well seeing them in action on both the Isle of Wight and Kent & East Sussex.

      It really does seem like he didn't show up to photograph the thing, it seems like he showed up to climb aboard it, check that the overnight crew have made steam correctly, do a walkaround inspection on it, climb back in and take it out for a day of shunting.
