City of Wells at Woking Open Day - a photo on Flickriver

            One of the exhibits at the Woking Open Day on 30th May 1988 was Bulleid pacific number 34092 "City of Wells". 

From this angle it is possible to see the Geisl ejector (chimney to the layman) which was fitted by the locomotive's owners whilst at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. In British Railways days number 34064 was experimentally fitted with a Geisl ejector but, although performance was improved, the modification came too late in the day for it to be applied to further Southern pacifics. The experiment was however also carried out on British Railways class 9F number 92250. The advantages were proven then and again with this fitting to 34092. Several preserved industrial locomotives have been similarly fitted.
