    I thought it seemed early in the month for an 82045 update. Well done everyone involved, this has been the model of steady but sure progress.

    If water is in the boiler, how far is that through the build of the boiler?

    I assume that the main components (ie firebox, barrel, tubeplates and tubes) must be in. Ditto anything making the water part water-tight (so wash-out plugs, and plugs for any fittings not, err, fitted etc)

    Given taking apart boilers uneccessarily is frowned-upon, does this mean the regulator is done? Safety-valves? Fittings on the backhead?

    I assume lagging and cladding is more of a "bodywork job" than a boiler job?

    From a corrosion point of view, once it's been wet, is supposed to stay full of water (to limit oxidisation), or is that not considered a risk?

    Whatever the answers, it's a great step and congratulations to the team.

    Soo many questions @ Bikermike! I honestly can't answer them all, but for most the answer is a resounding YES.
    The last sentence is received with humble thank's. Many hours of blood, sweat and tears, financial donations from members and supporters and suppport from the SVR, volunteers and the lads in the Boiler Shop. That a Standard Boiler sees the light of day after such a lengthy hiatus is surely something the preservation movement as a whole should be very proud of.

    It will be the boiler shell without ancillaries. All pads for such things as safety valves, clacks, superheater header, regulator valve, etc. will need to be blanked off for the hydraulic test. These will all be hydraulically tested separately and individually, as will the superheater elements, main steam pipes and all other steam pipework..

    Thanks,
    It's like a lot of these things, anything short of the final engine is always a line in the sand somewhere, and I am simply curious as to what counts as "boiler".

    "Finished" is of course an entirely other kettle of badgers and one that keeps wig-jockeys gainfully employed...

    Good stuff!
    (I guess this answers the question about whether the boiler will be emptied or not, can't imagine machining it full of water on temporary probs would be less than ideal).

    You can’t machine the pads while it is full of water. (Though if you temporarily forget that statement, removing the blanking plates to enable machining will quickly rectify the situation for you …)
