30 July 2012 Roger and Pete attend Gartell's at Templecombe to steam Lord Fisher's boiler and set the safety valves in preparation for Insurance test on 31 July 2012. A previous hydraulic examination had already been passed. |
The final 'Out of Frames' steam test is the final part of the overhaul of the boiler which.... |
....can now be moved to Yeovil (now the test has been successfully completed) to be reunited with the remainder of the engine. Once everything is together a final Insurance test must be carried out before the engine can enter traffic. |
