    That looks completely insane! I would have loved to see that in real life.

    I may be misremembering but I think Steam Railway ran a feature on this a year or two back.

    EDIT - I might be getting my articles mixed up with this :The Kitson-Still the hybrid engine | Steam Railway - another interesting experiment that didn't go anywhere, but unrelated to the Armstrong Whitworth one.

    Has no-one noted that the text of this link contains the existence of a library at :

    the collection of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers at Y629.422.

    A source to check perchance ?

    That place is well worth a visit if you can find any excuse to do so!
