Gladstone. (10.7!)

"What is it, the Rocket!?"

"That's Gladstone, Lovely lines ain't she?"



This Little beauty is my recreation of Gladstone, starring Loco from the 1937 Will Hay comedy "Oh, Mr Porter!" The title of the film being taken from the music hall song of the same name.

The Film is about an inept station master and his coworkers escapades with gun runners, was not seen as a large commercial success at the time of its release, grossing £500,000 (£34,000,000 in 2020 value), The film is seen as one of Will Hay's best, most well known film by modern audiences and is widely acclaimed as the best of Will Hays works, and the best of its genre.


The Locomotive on which Gladstone was based on is the Kent & East Sussex Railway 2-4-0T No.2 Named "Northiam"


To start:

Simply Fill will coal, press the air intake button, Press the Ignition, make sure the boiler is filled and then wait until Gladstone's finally on the boil, then run as you see fit!


To stop:
Should the boiler begin to get to dangerous pressures (Exceeding 9.0 psi) turn off the air intake and wait for the boiler to cool and steam to vent. (Reccomend keeping the throttle open to allow steam to be vented vaster)

NOTICE: Due to 1.9 update, the boiler fix will consume all water in tanks quickly, throtttle has been cut to 0.30 at most, but reccomend keeping her throttle at 0.16 at most for long journeys.
