3117 - trial hydraulic December 2006

Post by John Ashworth »

Photos with Nathan Berelowitz's camera, December 2006 - not sure who took the second one!

Note that the boiler is tested to beyond the safe working pressure, well beyond the red mark.

Our first attempt at hydraulicing to see if the boiler was good, before further restoration takes place. The results were successful. Note the raw lagging and the new insulating blanket sticking out.
