[MRail]

Can't find the bunker, but one's definitely chimney first!

Confused of Merseyside

Strange but on my two Stainzii the bunkers are in front of the cab...
no chance of going bunker first here:

and fuel tank first? err

 

[pugwash]

And of course once one starts they all want to do it

 

[Woderwick]

Seriously the back end of one of these was not a good place to be.
The attached link may be of interest, in particular the section towards the end about "the monkey deck".

Woodrows passengers are often wealthy so to run behind a loco running backwards wouldnt do so the Woodrow has a turntable at each Terminus.
but heres a pic of Vincent running bunker first.

I tried to run my 2017 tender first. But I couldn't get anything to stay coupled to the snowplow....

Oh !
Just looked at that again, it a banking engine not tender first.

Nah there both running bunker first

Nope, Alan's right the last loco was banking - the railway is a one-way roundy-roundy in an anti-clockwise direction

Just checked my pics and it seems as I don't normally run locos bunker first :timeout: but do operate in push-pull mode so it is sort of backwards:thinking:

 

[KentKeith]

.....closest to bunker first is this:

 

[spurs123]

often run the 2-10-2 backwards still looks the same......just have to watch the overhang

 

[Phil]

this is a good one

 

[Phil]

The rack bunker first

 

[JRinTawa]

We do bunker first to.
Climax locos I think always looks good with a load bunker first.

And the Dubs A does a bit of bunker first running for variety.

Jonny doesn't have a bunker but he looks good doing the diesel equivalent, thought the driver complains of a stiff neck.

 

[Gareth]

Heres couple of piccs did the other night not had much time for running lately

 

[Neil Robinson]

Today's motive power running bunker first.
The Meyer's crew member isn't looking the wrong way, he's checking the train as it leaves the loop.
