    Progress cracking along after the boiler lift a couple of weeks back. The cab is in the process of having its various fittings and pipework refitted. At the front end, the regulator, superheater header and associated elements as well as the steam pipes are now in place.[​IMG]

    I initially read the first two words "Progress cracking" as being bad news, requiring at least the services of a coded welder.

    I was visiting Cranmore yesterday and was fortunate to see it. Seems only 5 minutes since it arrived. Well done to the team. <BJ>
