A Class Bar Pilot

[NW Mailing List]

I am fairly certain that boiler tube pilots are depicted the film
“Modern Coal Burning Steam Locomotives”

The newly restored and improved versions, based on films from N&WHS are available to rent at

Since the footage for the film was shot in 1944, it is prior to the post war improvements.
