Coles Bulleid and the Turf Burner: And Other Experiments with Irish Steam Traction at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A detailed review of the experiments by the Southern Railways Chief Mechanical Engineer, O.V.S.Bulleid, which led to the production at Inchicore Works in Ireland of the ill fated turf burning locomotive. The Leader project on Britain's Southern Region is considered as is earlier trials with Irish locomotives burning turf. This is a fascinating look at the building of a revolutionary steam locomotive which ended in 1958 with the loco's last steaming. The full story of the Turf Burner together with the other Irish non coal-burning steam locomotives. Bulleid's work in Ireland has received little coverage in the past, but now that has been redressed - and the story is every bit as controversial and incredible as "Leader".
