‘N7’ boiler update

EXCELLENT progress is being made on the boiler of East Anglian Railway Museum’s GER 0-6-2T No. 9621 at contractor HBSS in Liverpool. After splitting the firebox and the barrel in late July, the main steam pipe along with all the internal copper pipes and sling stays have been removed. At the time of writing, the removal of the crown stays, longitudinal stays and pins was underway.
