Since last writing I have made the decision to sell the Plastow I have been building as the project was getting too large e.g. new boiler, new block, new tender, new smoke box etc. Now this is being finished by Dave Nicholson over the next two year as the boiler ordered for it is now being used on the newer engine as below.
So I decided to buy another engine with less work needed, however still needs a new boiler which I now have had supplied to me by AJB boilers at Dorset. The engine has been disassembled and cleaned, so now we are simply waiting for the cylinder block and other boiler attachments to be fitted and the boiler returned to us for the assembly to go on. I will let you have more updates as we progress with this project.
