Footplate ride on a 15thClass Garratt

A bit of film of a footplate ride on a 15th class Garratt. I have fired this loco but have never driven it. I use to work this bit of line back in the 1960's. You will see the fireman using an Ajax steam fire door and. You will also see the slack hose being used to wet the coal and wash to floor, the fireman resting his arm on the injector lever. At the start of the film you see the driver pumping hard grease into the bearings.
