RC8,eight ton double crank compound.1906 She went to Switzerland from new and was fitted with an AC3 cylinder and balanced flywheel. I have the blue prints for the boiler from Aveling all in millimetres!!
A fast revving engine and very free steamer, just ask the Wallis driver if he could keep up!!
Mike.

The only time we could keep up was on the down hill stretches!

There are some steep hill around there, I didn't fancy racing a roller down them!!
I really enjoy the road run when in the valley it's just beautiful, plenty of clean water in the streams and nice short hills to power up with double high opened!! Couldn't be better!!

yeah, it was a great run and yo can't beat the sound of a single on those steep climbs, just a little longer run than expected!
