LNWR 'Reversible' Steam Trains
 

In the Railway Magazine, August 1922, an unattributed article about these LNWR units was carried. From 6th February 1922 a 'reversible' or 'push-and-pull' train was in use for working locally between Manchester (Victoria) and Atherton.

Courtesy of Mr. Ashton Davies, M.B.E., General Superintendent (Northern Division) of the LNWR, The Railway Magazine was able to illustrate and describe the equipment of the train employed:

Thanks for that Roger, a fascinating read.

Not being a steam buff I hadn't realised that locos were remotely controlled via air pipe as far back as a century ago.

Thank you for the positive response, Beeyar Wunby.
