GWR 61XX PRAIRIE TANK LOCOMOTIVE No 6106
SAFETY FIRST
All our locomotives are safe to run, and will give many hours of pleasure,
providing the following safety procedures are followed: -
1.
Please read all the instructions thoroughly before running for the
first time.
2.
Never let the engine run out of water.
3.
When refilling the gas, do not have any naked flame present, and NO
SMOKING!
4.
Do not pick up the engine by the bodywork, chimney or boiler,
especially when hot.
5.
Only pick up the engine by the buffer beams and, when hot, use the
gloves provided or a cloth.
6.
Do not stand over the chimney. Ejected boiling water or steam may
cause serious injury.
7.
Do not open the smoke box door while the engine is alight.
8.
Constant supervision of the boiler water level is imperative as the gas
CAN outlast the water. Failure to do so will be treated as misuse and
is not covered by the warranty. The boiler will require topping up
about every 10 minutes.
9.
Failure to properly control the gas will result in over-heating the loco
and will cause damage to the mechanics and the paintwork and will
not be covered by warranty.
