Riley & Son 01.11.13 - A major milestone is reached




                                                                  The Boiler

 
The front tube plate with all the tubes fitted has the live steam flanges blanked off ready for hydraulic test

 
An overall view of the boiler with the live steam flanges similarly blanked off on the firebox backhead
 
 
For the first time in nine and a half years the boiler registers pressure of 45 lbf per sq.in as it is filled with mains water. The hydraulic test will be followed by a steam test and inspection by our insurance boiler inspector prior to being despatched to Tyseley.
