The Liverpool Rose comes alive

The 'Liverpool Rose' (assigned serial No. RS18-3003) is seen here awaking from her slumber as she's getting ready for a systems check. The old lady is clearly happy with the attention and TLC she's getting from the technicians in the workshop!



A quick inspection showed an engine malfunction because some of its cog-wheels are stuck. There is some movement there, but there is no transmission to the main wheels, hence 'The Rose' cannot run on her own power until the problem is fixed.

The Liverpool Rose

Another beauty arrived at the Rust & Steel train depot today; also from the UK. 

I call her "the Liverpool Rose", after the inscription on her side, just below the cabin window, showing the name of her manufacturer: Meccano Ltd of Liverpool.

Am very much looking forward to taking many pictures of her, but for now I just wanted to introduce her to you with these ones.
