Evening, we will be going down Hurleston this Friday morning, travelling down to the bottom of Hack Green, winding (because of the breach) and returning to Burland probably Saturday. Then we will be doing van deliveries, south of Hack Green during the week. Our number is 07754 003834
i had some copper rings that i found in the engine room, probably left over from Ivor, they had a small recess for the dowel in the barrel top, I've used these and it's running well.
Mountbatten still has its AS2, although we don't know if it's the original engine. Apparently, the old boatmen used to call them tatey bakers, because they run a bit hot!
It wouldn't be my engine of choice, but nearly 3 years down the line, we're getting used to it.
As Liam said we have not brought John and Jenny out, we just did some delivered for them and the new owner Charlton Whitehouse Fuels, as well as loading are own stuff. It was a sad moment when they decided to give it all up,the end of a era . John is still helping load and will be doing odd bits for the new owners.
We are having the summer off and will be doing van deliveries up the golli untill crt fix the bottom lock at Hurleston this winter.
Having only had a AS since September, I have to say it and I have a love hate thing going on,parts are in the rocking horse department, she is a PIG to start when it's proper cold, a proper basket case to bleed after a service. But it is growing on me.
The main line was/is fine just cat ice.Rumour control says that next year they will actually fix the bottom lock,and not just stop the flight,drain it, take pictures and refill It! But then it says oxo on the side of busses but they don't sell It!
Hi can anyone point me in right direction of a photo of what I believe is Jellicoe with what appears to be a wooden draining board on the back,thanks in advance Paddy
Well I think it looks brilliant, but then I am biased.just don't forget to put a jump chain on the voice of experience will tell you it cold putting it back on in February.
We have winded our pair in Horninglow basin at the water point,do able with care,one of our customers has a 12" wide beam and was there last week. But as others have said air draft can be a problem.
