Here is a short video of the ‘BAT’ in action on the workshop bench, March 2010:

2009年7月8日 · Anybody know where I can find a copy of LBSC's O scale live steam locomotive called the BAT? I know that I can get a photo copy of the plans from TEE Publishing, but I'd really like to find a source that's on the Colony side of the pond.

'BAT' 4-4-0 Southern Tender Locomotive in O Gauge by LBSC Drawings and Castings below

BAT is the name LBSC gave to the meths fired 'O' gauge schools class locomotive he designed for use indoors during the blackouts! Crazy or what, just imagine the health and safety brigade with that! Anyway, I managed to pick up a bag of unmolested wheel castings some time ago and found some just the right size for this locomotive.

O-gauge 4-4-0 to LBSC's "BAT" design, based on the Southern Railway's "Schools" class. Complete rolling chassis with cylinders, slide valves actuated by Stephenson's valve gear with screw reverser, largely complete coal-fired boiler and smokebox assembly, complete tender which may have come from another project.

If spirit-fired, LBSC thought it would be the ideal thing for running round a scenic track indoors during the blackouts, hence "Bat" (yes, I think it's a barmy idea too). Set of castings, completed frames and flanged boiler kit, ordered from Kennions in 1962.

2012年9月12日 · "Bat" is hauling 7 coaches around a magnificent layout. Then a second Bat was double-he... Filmed at a meeting of the Classic Train Collectors, South Australia.

The first part of this vid is a standard BAT with all the plumbing simplified as far as I can figure it out.
