    I presume you're being tongue in cheek here but to be honest we had thought of having a ceramic inner box with depleted uranium stays.

    Fork handles, surely? But maybe with shovel blades on the end and loaded with finest steam coal.

    34081's boiler is now with Chatham Steam so it won't be too long before we know the extent of the work needed and the cost involved. In the meantime the chassis will be moved under cover and then lifted to enable the wheels to be rolled out from underneath.

    Good work by the BBLS troops at Wansford. Fingers crossed the boiler won't be in too bad a condition.

    Cheers,

    All tubes have been removed and the general "crud" has been removed from the inside of the boiler. Initial thickness testing has revealed thinning of the throat plate. Not entirely unexpected and this area has already been replaced during BR ownership. The affected area will be removed prior to replacement as well as to allow further inspection of the firebox area.
