Caprotti valve gear on the Duke of Gloucester

Many thanks to Melvin Cobb for these detailed
pictures of the Caprotti gear on Duke of Gloucester
 
 
Much development work continued on this gear
when the Duke was rebuilt. It is sad to see this
magnificent engine is for now not in steam

 
I saw here at Minehead some five or six years ago
 
 
Some more of the detail

 
Very similar to the class five

 
Though a great deal more development has been
done on the gear for the Duke.
