Howard has rebuilt the club Simplex locomotive with the recently acquired new boiler. The concept of getting an identical boiler, having provided the old one as a pattern, didn't quite work out but Howard overcame the shortcomings to complete what looks like a fine job. I am sure you will want to thank Howard when you next meet. The pictures were taken yesterday when we steamed up the loco on test in preparation for certification in the next 2 weeks or so. |
