    Its somehow like having a racing Bentley from the early 30s, with a set of drawings for a supercharger which was never built. Only much, much bigger.
    I find it incredibly exciting, and I think the wallet will have to be getting an airing, even if just to say "I was there".

    It's good to see the P2 now moving in a positive direction. But it's just occurred to me that it's gone very quiet on the other boiler(s?) at Meiningen. What's the latest on that?

    Good question ! I’d sort of lost the will, so I’ve not grilled my sources for a while….
