    Definetely, news today that Tornado's boiler is almost ready to be reunited with her frames, is great news.

    From memory last time, the assembly process was as straightforward as possible, and she was steaming in very quick time.

    Hmm! As someone once said "Almost ain't is". And even when the boiler is back on the frames, there tend to be one or two bits and pieces remaining to be connected.

    BTW, why is this bit of the discussion on the P2 thread and not the Tornado thread?

    Because until TORNADO clears the deck the P2 is pretty much on the Back- Burner...

    Interesting. Good to see, and infinitely more uplifting than the trespasser at Collection X in the Narrow Gauge thread.
