Boiler test

Hi all,
Just had a satisfactory boiler test carried out on the Foden - gosh its scary when both safety valves are lifting and going full blast with a big fire and the blower on. Now all I need is some more bits and pieces and I can go for the next hurdle - road fund licence!!!
PS to Steve - I also need a new front spring!!!

All the best

Hi

Happy steaming!.

You should try a 350psi 175ft superheated paper mill boiler blowing off. Father use to be a mechanical inspector for Royal Sun Alliance a.k.a. British Engine Insurance before returing. I use to travel with him on my holidays.

What no Pictures.

Hi Tom,

Good news still a little behind you but not a million miles can wait until we get a fire lit in the o'll girl,Why do you need a new front spring, do I need one??

Hi Ian
My front spring has snapped clean across at one end where the "shackle" has been welded on and the other end shows signs of cracking underneath the paint. Well worth having a look at.



Regards

Tom

Thanks Tom, i'll have a look at mine.
