A brass hand wheel from the cab of a Rhodesia Railways Locomotive.
The story behind this artefact is that I lived in Rhodesia (Now Zimbawe) in the early 70s as my father was employed as a fitter in the Bulawayo workshops.He came home from work one day and produced it, saying it was an injector handle from a 19th class loco.It has been in my possession ever since and it is in pretty much the same condition as when I acquired it.
Wheel is 5 inches in diameter and the square hole is 3/4 of an inch.
“Between 1951 and 1953, Henschel and Son built twenty19th class for Rhodesia Railways, numbered in the range from 316 to 335. They had tenders similar to the SAR Torpedo type, but with plate frame bogies instead of cast frame Buckeye bogies.]
By June 1975, only three were left in service, all allocated to the Bulawayo shed, but with two out-stationed at Mafeking in South Africa.”
