Looks nice except the flywheel doesn't look quite right for that engine. I admit I don't know too much about Marshalls, but has that flywheel been 'dished' over the spokes, or am I just talking complete crap as usual?

Is this not the one kept at the East Lancs Railway(or was)? There's something unusual about her, I think she has three speeds, different for a agri. But then again I too may be talking crap, feel free to ignore me!

Yes it's a three speed and is/was from the ELR solid flywheel and sprung on the back axle , one of two made to this spec' this is the only survivor of the two apparently.
7 NHP at a boiler pressure of 140 PSI.
All this info' came from a display board on show with the engine along with it's history .

There is a compound one very similar which went to the same owners when new. For a long time Pearl didn't have any kind of brake at all bar the flywheel brake which I am told made things quite exciting in top gear and on strakes. Anyone remember her at Rushmoor rally pulling one of Jim Lowther's ploughing engines around??

Yes the 100 ton pull is certainly something we miss doing and the evening road run, glad everything went well! Certainly miss the show! Will have to go back at some point in the future!

Ignore me, just found quite a few more Marshall TE's with solid flywheels on Steam Scenes! Must take more interest in Marshall TE's!
