Spending his working life  involved with steam turbines, his spare time was dedicated to researching,  drawing up and building engines such as this 4-8-0 and the three-cylinder LNER  A8 we took to the Midlands Show recently.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eThis is his take on Chapelon's rebuild of the Paris-Orlean 4500  class Pacific into a 4-8-0 in the 1930s, a highly successful conversion which  led to another eleven engines of the class being reworked.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSilver-soldered superheated copper boiler, 80psi working  pressure, feed by twin axle pumps, twin injectors and hand pump in the tender.
