I don't think you will ever be told what happened, but I'm guessing the people who overhauled the boiler, did not have the same degree of skill as those who built it, and mistakes were made, which lead to the problems, first getting the boiler to...

Sir Ralph Wedgwood liked MellishR's post in the thread Tornado.
Presumably at the time it was believed that refurbishing the original boiler would be quicker than finishing building the first of the new ones. With hindsight, possibly that was a mistake, but we don't know what snags may appear with the new...

Interesting stats, but remember, "there are lies, damned lies, and statistics" To fill out that basic information, the "main" L&B page was started maybe 18 or more years ago (I became an admin in August 2009). The "Friends" group was started (by...

That is my experience too Mike. There seems to be an assumption by some on here that you cannot have a good steam run if there is a diesel on the back and that is so untrue. Of course nothing is garunteed with or without a diesel but most steam...
