How much of any working steam engine over (say) ten years old is original? A lot is made of (whisper it...) Flying Scotsman but very little of the original Gresley locomotive is there. Steam locomotives are 'living' machines, bits break, bits wear down, better parts are devised or rebuilds carried out to improve looks, performance etc. It is the nature of the beast. We are not takling about glass case models here! Dom, I think we have been here before, I think there was a Digest.... Colin |
