Mikes Road loco

Getting ready for cold inspection.

Empty to remove all plugs and fettle sight glass.

Think this is clean enough for a inspector

Glad to see the time has nearly come that priscilla will hopefully have a steam ticket soon, i will look forward to having her home and having a steam up myself,

Cold inspection passed.

In steam test 1500 today.

Bigger. I could not resist.

Polisher out.

Btw It is currently snowing.

Look at that Lynn that looks nice, glad it went ok this morning let's hope later goes well to, I'm really pleased Lynn well done

Well. No steam test at 1500.




She passed at 1230

Ready to head home

Don't she look nice. Lovely job. Well done Lynn.

Looks fab, I'm just trying to work out how to knobble the courier to get the delivery address changed

I can't wait to get her back I can't thank Lynn enough, it wil be with me tommorrow afternoon, really pleased she is near enough complete, but of playing and bit of lining to do,

That her all loaded up. Heading home now she is feeling much better in herself.



Yes I will miss having her around.
Hope everyone has enjoyed the progress reportage.

Well priscilla arrived at my work today at 2 o'clock, had a long journey but well worth it, couple people to thank is stw for making it possible for me to own a great engine and Lynn for doing a great job of finishing her off. I haven't had time to have a look at her yet but I have trusted Lynn to do a good job and that's what has happened. Jon boy services from Slough has been great from start to finish on taking her all that way and bringing her back. Can't wait to have priscilla out on Saturday and Sunday for the first time, she won't be in steam for a few days as I want to be on own to have a play. so thank u everybody for making this dream possible.

Great job Lynn, the almost daily reports were a must read with pics & videos too.
Thanks for entertaining us with it all.

I've enjoyed it!

I second that Lynn,excellent updates and reports were a pleasure to read.

Well the engine was out on show this weekend and I had a lot of questions and comments, so glad to have her out, she wasn't in steam but I'm hoping to do that this next weekend.

Hi all what size tube brush will I need

I use 13/16"

15/16" or 16 gauge stainless steel

Are you sure Lynn, my 13/16 seems the perfect fit?

I like mine a bit tighter. 


It does bed in and stays snug longer.
