How does a steam locomotive work without fire? Find out all about the trials and tribulations of 'fireless' locomotive technology and the story of Imperial No. 1, a preserved example built at Andrew Barclay Works in Kilmarnock in 1956, with our curator Anthony Coulls.
Fireless locos brought steam power to a variety of settings where an on-board fire was not desirable. For Imperial No. 1 it was Imperial Paper Mills in Gravesend, Kent, where a stray spark could have ruined the whole operation.
