On BBC4 Nilgiri mountain railway. Fascinating locomotives, 4 cylinder compound, all outside low pressure stacked above high pressure

The high pressure cylinders drive the wheels, the low pressure cylinders drive the rack and pinion system

Yep, stunning line, stunning locos. Balson AG of Switzerland make a 7.25 inch replica.... but being swiss the price will be an enormous 5 figure sum for sure. Funnily enough, there are a few rack and pinion miniature railways about. www.balson.ch/4605.html The loco replica also runs on the Furka Pass.
