LMS boiler being scrapped ?

This months steam railway has either an opportunistic discovery, or a substantial loss to the movement...

Apparently a scrap yard in Nottingham has started disposing of a larger belpaire boiler of possible LMS origin. The mag hasn't been able establish from where the boiler has originated and is trying to discover, apparently the yard can't disclose details of the disposer.
The only facts it discussed was that the boiler was a substantial one, and larger than an industrial.

 

42859?

 

Boiler, frames and driving wheelsets have been moved to a secure location.

I must say, I'm stumped by this one...

 

How much of a boiler might be the question... If it were actually just the barrel sans tube plates there's an obvious candidate.

 

The SR article talks about a narrow copper firebox but of a size which implies it is from a 'main line' loco.

 

Will be interesting when someone solves this mystery

 

Then some starry eyed ****** will want to start another new build group (he sighs)!

Next meeting of the 'Chaps Club' is the last Friday of this month. Good to see you are in training. Enjoy.

 

An honourable group. Seemingly fated to be like Cassandra; cursed with the ability to prophesy the future accurately but not to be believed!

Could it have been a railway boiler sold for industrial use - it has been known to happen!

 

Indeed. A prime example being the Bluebell Atlantic project.

 

Modest aren't we.

 

You mean like the Brighton Atlantic project? Thank goodness they ignored the naysayers.

 

No but not sarcastic though.

Indeed but it's not alone.

any more news on this boiler ?

 

its an intresting one makes you wonder what else is out there still?

 

If it's in a scrapyard then it's very unlikely to have to be nailed to its perch!

 

Just wondering if its off a Norwegian Blue Mogul.
