    For anyone that is interested our company (Chesterfield Locomotive Carriage and Wagon ltd) is going to be lifting the boiler of our on loan locomotive Yorkshire Engine Company number 2521 hopefully at the end of february. a small grant has been secured to pay for this. It will probably be the first time the boiler has been out of the frames on the loco and will allow our group to start work on the overhaul and clean up of the frames and bottom end. if anyone wants to come and see us we're based at Barrow Hill Roundhouse. Why not stop by for a chat and a cup of tea and we can show you the latest progress. Richard Prestidge, CLCAW
