I can only imagine how awkward it must have been when the inspector put his hammer through the boiler. *"Yeahhh this isn't gonna work."*

I don't know why but Cornwall's design reminds me of another engine. I think it was one of the GWR's broad gauge locomotives.

I've been wanting to see this engine on this series. I think you should have explained that as originally designed, the boiler passed UNDER the driving axle, which I may be wrong about this, but I think Cornwall is the only locomotive ever built in that configuration. Needless to say, putting a boiler that low causes tons of technical headaches (firing, cleaning, etc.) so it's obvious why Cornwall was likely the only one built that way. I hope you do Columbine in the future.

Perfect timing once again, Chris. Been having a bit of a downer day and this was exactly the pick-me-up I needed. I swear, the way you put these out whenever I'm feeling blue, it's almost uncanny. Also convenient that, like with the Caley 123 & 812 Class, this is yet another engine being made by Kris Wilson of Digital Traction and rumored to be not far from release.

Might not be a full bad thing. You Brits don’t realize but in america a hole is easily mended on a boiler. Abet carefully and slow we can get a damaged boiler fixed. It has been done on many locos. Even the K4 1361 is going to run despite one of the inspectors laying back on the firebox walls when taking a short break and it fell to dust putting him half inside the firebox (the grates were there so he didn’t fall too far but was laying) and that was fixed easily

@1987VCRProductions 6 жыл бұрын

Matt`s Mocs I imagine the reason why they don’t fix it is because of the engine’s age and the fact that replacing or repairing part of the boiler might cause the engine to lose some of its originality. It’s one of the reasons why Lion (built in 1838) is no longer run, they were replacing so many parts on the engine that they were afraid that it was losing its originality.

@mattsmocs3281 6 жыл бұрын

Austin1987VCR true. But when there is a restoration the original parts that were not ones always changed should be saved Incase the loco finest get another running year. In the park service all original material is saved for retrofitting back. Even if it takes up a bit of space in the storage room that original material is kept. I am not sure how it is done in the UK but sounds like random metal becomes cash too often

@Plokman040 6 жыл бұрын

Stepney still runs and most of his parts have got to be nonoriginal at this point. The engines parts don't make it who it is the spirit that is steam is the same for that engine as long as it is never scrapped. I hate cop outs like "Not original parts" if it is savable it should be even if every part needs to be recast eventually it happened during their service life it must happen again to see them true to form. Damaged does not mean unfixable and vintage is not a good enough reason to quit repairing a living machine.

@1987VCRProductions 6 жыл бұрын

Plokman040 That’s true. I was only speculating. Take another famous engine like Flying Scotsman. I believe the only things on the engine that date back to 1923 are parts of the frames and sections of the cabsides. A lot of the parts on the engine are from another A3 called Salmon Trout. Salmon Trout was scavenged for spares during Scotsman’s overhaul at Darlington in 1965 and whatever was leftover was sent to the melting pot.

@1987VCRProductions 6 жыл бұрын

The parts might be renewed or replaced, but it will always be the same engine that has always occupied that space and time.

Never say never. Her boiler may be as thin as paper but a certain Mallet number 1218 of the N&W had the same problem once they could have her steam again with just a little work now. Even if the old boiler must be set aside it is still the same engine. I mean how much of Stepney is still the same as when he started work?
