That Virginia is so good looking! Doesn't look like a very comfortable way to run it though. What is up with carrying a box of coal like that? Didn't want to put wear on the tenders paint?
Thanks, she's an old lady now, started in 1957 and first finished in 1971by my Dad when I was a teenager. She managed 3rd place in the Curly Bowl just before Dad passed away in 2011. Since this was recorded I have made a kneeler bogie trolley inspired by racing sidecar outfits. It carries water and a coal bin and appeared in the Garratt at Morley video, when I first ran than loco. The trolley was unfinished at the time. It still causes some amusement, but is quite comfortable for someone of similar height to me. Incidentally, the Garratt was built by the same chap as the Hunslet in the video at made at Sheffield.
Curly Bowl is properly called the LBSC Memorial Trophy held in UK for engines described by LBSC. It focuses on the way the engine runs rather than cosmetics. Dad was an amateur like myself, it was his first loco.

@@69woodburner What is the Curly Bowl? A locomotive beauty contest? What took your dad so long to build it? It's one of the more simple ones isn't it?
