Lot 100 | Bo-Bo type diesel mechanical engined locomotive No. 5 'RUDYARD LADY'. It has a Perkins 3-cylinder diesel engine linked by a four speed gearbox to the wheels. The clutch uses standard car parts and drive to the rear bogie wheels is by chain.The engine is probably the largest diesel locomotive on 10.25in gauge track with seats for two and space for three persons in the cab. Built by local engineer Mr. L. A. Smith from Leek in 1989. RUDYARD LADY is a frequent sight at both steam and diesel galas. It was repainted in a version of its original livery in 2019 and has undergone much maintenance since then. |
