Not much more work to go on Princess Marina's boiler to finish off. Just the regulator and longitudinal stays and the firedoor hinge to complete the boiler, ready for a hydro test.
Over the last few days it has been non-stop working through the weekend to get the foundation ring in, stays done and the firebox door plate and firehole ring ready for fitting the backhead. The boiler inspector checked it on Sunday and gave the nod to finish it off so yesterday and today was spent soldering up the backhead and wall stays and tackling the regulator. This warm weather is making it a hot job!
Next boiler to complete in the new year will be a 5" gauge Pansy boiler.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Cheerio!
