Did i Buy a Pile of Junk!!! Sweet Pea Loco Renovation Part 3 Official Pressure Test.
Hydrostatic Shell Test
Bought this at a very reasonable price, but with no boiler History and part dismantled with bits missing, the bits missing are no problem to re make, its the boiler that will decide if its a re-furb or a scrap weigh in. So my Scratch built Metre Maid version of this that i built 3 years ago, will have to wait to see if it has a mate!!!
This Sweet Pea looks like a very early one made from the book by Jack Buckler, the deisigner of the Loco back in the 1970's
Fingers crossed this Official Pressure Test with our clubs boiler inspector, will decide, Watch this space!!!!
thanks for joining me on the journey
