Sugg "Littleton" complete All there complete and cleaned apart from the pilot light jet. The chap at Keighley & Worth Valley preserved railway who looks after theirs will sort me out with one of those when I take it down there and get it on their gas test rig to get it going. There are a few adjustments, like pilot light bypass valve, the main gas jet and also the air mixture vale. All have to be tweaked for the best operation.

Looks good, could you not feed it from a small gas bottle?, would be more safe than an actual gas supply rig up?

Yeah I did think about doing that but I've been told these don't like propane or butane at all without a fair bit of work. The jet and burners were originally designed to run on coal gas so you'd have to solder up the main jet and then re drill it with the correct size orifice and then mod the air shutter ect but even then it's not ideal.

What a superb restoration, that's really come out very well indeed!
