The engine has been the subject of recent work and a repaint, the owner ran it on air in his workshop although the current lockdown prevented venturing out to the club.
We've hydraulic tested the boiler and issued new certification for same; the engine needs a variety of jobs doing, including reseating a clack valve, regulator gland packing, drain cocks and tender water valves which don't shut off effectively.
