Thats the last time you drive there or one of their engines. Or have you moved onto the next 15" gauge line now? :P

Was wondering who was going to pick up on that... ... ;) :P

Not going to say a thing about me and 15" railways... ...

Back to topic, however, by May 2009, does this mean that she won't be overhauled until then, or is it intended that she's back in service then?? If so are you being coy and planning the May Steam Gala as her re-launch??

Can I just interject at this point and ask what is every one going on about with over heating and steam on the Cub?? Yes it has a water leak on the water pump just now. But this in no way made it overheat or make any steam.
Steve.
P.S
We better watch out as dom will be telling us off for going off topic.

Back to BELLE. The reason why it will be May is simple, FINANCE. Unless someone wants to stump up the money for the retube, the bank of SHAW, is not allowing the money until Feb at the earliest. We have a lot of projects on the go at the moment! WE are now in the winter, we have an advertised service for which due to a lack of volunteer crews are being run by paid staff. The key to this project is simple Pennies!

Sutton Belle got her first steaming today since sept and all went well. I have been working on her for the past week with Tom helping and now all I have to sort out is the inspector coming to pass it fit.
