The ‘Alice’ class, named after the second locomotive of the series supplied to the Dinorwic Quarries, was a 7″ (cylinder diameter) loco designed by Hunslet and proved to be very popular with many North Wales quarry owners. All the Dinorwic ‘Alice’ class locos were supplied new without enclosed cabs, except HE 823\/03 <\/span>(‘Irish Mail’). <\/span>The latter’s cab was believed to have been removed immediately on delivery. However, in quarries where the headroom in the tunnels was sufficiently generous, for example Pen-yrOrsedd quarry, locos with enclosed cabs were utilised.
\nMany of the preserved ‘Alice’ class Hunslets, that were cab-less in their working days, are currently operating on preserved lines and fitted with cabs similar in style to those carried by the cabbed locos in their former days. The locos originally had riveted tanks, but in preservation welded tanks have been fitted. At least one loco, <\/span>‘Irish Mail’, <\/span>acquired welded tanks in its working days. Sandboxes were fitted initially to the locos but were not particularly successful. In some cases, they were left on and not working, or, in other cases, simply removed. The whistle was located in a different at position different times. While working the whistle was fitted on the right-hand side of the roof adjacent to the safety valve holes. In preservation the locos have
\nthe whistle on the front cab sheet in between the spectacles.
\nAs mentioned above, included in the kit are all components to enable models of different members of the class to be built. Alternatively, you can pick and mix.<\/span><\/p>\n
