The forward and reverse links of the Stephenson Link valve gear on No 117 in 2018. Seems like an essential pin is missing.

The last part of the Stephenson Link valve gear with the valve spindles going forward into the valve chests. Notice the vertically mounted slide valve chest of the right hand cylinder and it's cover.

The high signal box at Merredin's old station museum. A beautifully restored part of Western Australia's railway history.
