Hunslet question Jan 4, 2021 11:58:03 GMT

Good morning and a Happy (?) New Year to all of you.

Please tell me what are the cylindrical objects on either side of the smoke box on the Hunslet pictured below.

I am guessing either Sand boxes or valve gear oil reservoirs. Any other suggestions?

Cheers

Malcolm

Lots of information in the superb (if pricey) history of the FR locos, "Little Giants" by Chris Jones and Peter Dennis. Malcolm

I lifted the pic off the FR website. Of course it's not a Hunslet, now you tell me. Malcolm

Ah, but did you put Hunslet in your original post just to see if we were on the ball?
