The boiler has had ultrasonic survey and internal inspection (unsurprisingly it looks like new inside), followed by hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.
The engine runs as well today as it did nine years ago when Ashley set the valves, filled it with water and put a fire in it for its pre-delivery steam test.
Supplied with handbook, 12 months warranty and starter kit of coal, oil and water treatment - exactly the same as we offer with our new engines.
