Newport 2026 - Locomotive Balancing Table

One of the Pooley weighing machines in the Locomotive Balancing Table at the Newport Railway Workshops. This one of seven machines that allowed all of the axles on a steam locomotive to be weighed at the same time. Henry Pooley & Son and their green weighing machine were a key feature of the steam age until being taken over by Avery. The table is still in active use with Steamrail.
