Steam & Excursion > Grate ShakersDate: 04/01/21 13:17 Grate Shakers Author: LarryDoyle Looking at these pictures of a Deckless Cab engine (one, crossposted from this thread earlier today at https://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?10,5226844 ), where are the grate shakers? It does have finger grates.

Typically, just a few small shakes to loosen things up is really all that’s needed.
