This is a rebuilt Battle of Britain class locomotive. The original Bulleid locomotives had his own design of valve gear which involved lots of chains and oil and was great when it worked. The rebuilt locomotives had the more conventional and tried and tested Walschaerts valve gear. (No I have no idea what I am talking about) So here is a video...mind you it may not be accurate as he hasn't spelt the bloke's name right!
