13009
This one's come to us as part of a large collection of locomotives and traction engines, as the owner downsizes in retirement.
We gave the boiler a hydraulic test up to 120psi, at which point there were several leaking stays, with one superheater element leaking at the junction with the header.
The blower valve doesn't close - it was blanked off for the test - and the regulator is passing. The safety valves open but don't re-seat unaided.
