    Thanks Keith. It is one of many built for operation in industries such as gas works or petrochemical plants paper mills etc where there was a serious fire risk. The locos "boiler", actually just a receptical for high pressure steam, was charged from a boiler house that probably supplied steam for the whole plant and when fully charged, would run happily for a couple of hours before needing a re-charge.

    Cheer's, Pete.
