Bert MBTI性格类型
背景
An 0-8-2 tender locomotive. A rebuild by the Yorkshire Engine Co. of an earlier 0-8-0 design whose chassis and valve gear is very similar to that used in the 1890’s by Sir Arthur Heywood at Duffield Bank. The addition of trailing wheels enabled a larger firebox to be fitted in the hope that this would cure “shy steaming”, but this was not the case. It was not till 1973, when Ivan Farrier at Arlesburgh fitted a Kylchap blast pipe and taller chimney, that the trouble was cured. Bert’s appearance is now different from that shown in Small Railway Engines. His taller chimney, with cab enlarged to match, has turned him into a Narrow Gauge Engine in his own right instead of, as formerly, a scaled down version of a standard gauge locomotive. Bert is now as powerful and free steaming as Rex, but is more "sure-footed”, and in addition gives his driver a smoother ride.
