Metropolitan Railway lever frame
From around 1889, the Metropolitan Railway built its own lever
frames. They seem to be a crude copy of the Great Western's designs, for some
(bit not the one illustrated here!) had raised tread in the quadrants between
the levers.
The frames were of simple construction, and embodied tappet
locking.
None survive in use.
This example is at Wendover, more details of which can be
found in the Photo Gallery. |
