Steam Works Train on the Lynton Railway

Due to the Covid lockdown the Lynton Little Railway has been closed, with the lifting of restrictions a special steam hauled works train was run to clean the tracks of branches and leaves

Nice one.

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

I really do like the trucks, what they were model after?

[@johnphillips592]

Roughly on the Lynton and Barnstable railway in England .

[@aldon1436]

This was an amazing video but I do have 2 questions, how much water can Merlin hold and how steep of a hill can she climb?

[@johnphillips592]

The steepest grade on the line is 1 in 30 but Merlin will climb a 1 in 15 without wagons , will measure the tanks on Friday to find out the water capacity , watch this space .

@@johnphillips592 That's good going for a small loco. 1in 30 is steep
