Black 5 Boiler well under way now

Ron, where is that pic of boiler in the frames? By the way, where are the wash out plugs? Perhaps hidden by camera angle.

I hope to take a few pics tomorrow will try and send them.

The Wash out Plug is in front of the Fire box at the lowest Point

Thanks for the nice Remarks encouraging.

Been a bit of a Hold up needed to have an extension on the end of the Barrel.

I have put it between the frames and started with the back head fittings.

Next week need to make the super heater and fit Regulator.

Now the hard work begin's

Looking good Ron…..is that the missis wondering where her next holiday has gone??

[Ron HancockParticipant @ronhancock63652]

How did you guess she only said this afternoon now you finished with the Loco can we go away for her Birthday in November.

She was not impressed when i said i had just ordered two new injectors for her birthday £120.

But she is still speaking just about he he.

Well i did say she could have a drive when finished.

Yes its starting to look like a loco at last had the boiler back Friday after George fitted another piece to the front for me.

Dreading doing the cladding !
