HINTS ON THE DRIVING AND MAINTENANCE OF STEAM ENGINES

General Safety

Please note the following risks should be borne in mind when operating steam engines.

Fire:

Coal fired engines

Treat the fire with respect; remember hot ash or cinders may be thrown from the chimney
and grate of the locomotive. Wear safety goggles.

Fire:

Gas fired engines

Gas is highly explosive; avoid gas leaks and naked flames especially when re-

fuelling.

Steam:  The  boiler  contains  steam  under  pressure  and  has  very  hot  surfaces;  avoid
scalds or burns from any part of the boiler, smokebox or pipework.  Make sure the boiler
has a hydraulic test regularly (2 year for steel boiler, 4 years for copper boilers).  Check
safety valves are operating and correctly set.  Be extra careful when working on or near
water gauge glasses so as not to damage them.

General:

Any ride on vehicle should be regularly maintained. Make sure gear

covers or other safety covers are in place (traction engines).

If in any doubt about any part for operation of the steam engine, consult a
competent person. Ensure that the steam engine is in good mechanical condition
before each use. This includes checking for loose nuts and bolts, fittings, etc.
