New Injectors For No.13 Kissack
Embedded Files
With the return to traffic of No.13 Kissack in 2005 the Association were approached by their good friends at Isle of Man Railways to provide a new set of injectors for the historic locomotive and were only too happy to oblige. The locomotive had been withdrawn at the end of the 1991 season and its boiler overhauled to be fitted to No.10 G.H. Wood which returned to service as part of the Year of Railways in 1993 having last operated in 1977.
