It's had a cladding off inspection and ultrasonic survey in recent days, showing satisfactory thickness readings, little changed from the last set taken in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    We've re-tubed the boiler, following which it's had hydraulic and steam tests with new certification issued.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    As well as the re-tube, we've machined the connecting rod brasses, fitted a new injector, serviced the boiler feed pump and replaced the unreliable Ramsbottom safety valves - set for a giddy 150psi working pressure - with a pair of our own progressive pop types, set to 120psi, the correct working pressure for this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    On test the engine proved free steaming, running with square, well-defined exhaust beats.
