Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked guycarr360's post in the thread Tornado.
You want to chalk your eyes. The news item refers to boiler No 2 out of 3. The first of the new boilers, intended for No. 2007 Prince of Wales, is due to be delivered this autumn. Our team, lead by Chairman Steve Davies, were in Germany in...

Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked MellishR's post in the thread Tornado.

Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked Sidmouth's post in the thread Tornado.

Sir Ralph Wedgwood replied to the thread Tornado.
That’s referring to the boiler that was due to be put on Tornado and is now apparently going on the P2. I’m talking about the second new boiler of which all I have seen is a few barrel rolling and the forged firebox corners. You need to check...
