Close up of image 'mrsalt431' showing one of the Sharp Stewart 2-2-2 locomotives positioned under a smoke hood and the hand-operated capstan for turning the turntable seen on the left. The smoke hoods were an inverted 'V' in shape in order to minimise the need for pinpoint accuracy when positioning the locomotives and to allow for different sized locomotives.
