Seeing the scope of work in doing a rebuild like this overwhelms me. I'm glad we have people like Piglet and Nick who have the vision and knowledge to carry this through.
Absolutely fantastic Piglet 👍🏻 BR Standard tank is one of my favourite locomotives as they took me to see my grandparents from Urmston to Lawton-St-Mary’s near Wigan. That started my love of trains from 1960 when I was gust 3 lol 😆 The line is now closed 😢 Looking forward to seeing the progress 👍🏻
If you guys are interested , I may be able to lay my hands on a 4-8-2 tank engine that seems to have fallen through the cracks and is possibly able to be obtained , its currently on narrow gauge , being a british std frame , easy to convert while doing a restoration . It is in Africa , you may wish to do this and make a series while restoring the beast .
Absolutely right. That boiler would leak as it stands.

Looking forward to following the project.
Any chance of an update on D5032 and D7628? Some of us are interested in the diesel fleet as well as the kettles.
Good video but i wish you would put it in BR lined black as it never carried green .
Have a question and no idea if its actually gonna be answered. Whats happening to Repton and 825 at the minute?

Looking forward to following this project. So is this the 1st major work since it came out of Barry ?
Did Piglet need to have his cap removed surgically? 😆
When was 80135 last in service...?
2009
@@tombrooker523 Thx for the info!
Will 80135 be on the mainline towards whitby
4:03 "we're installing the signalling equipment to get it to Whitby" so I'd say yes!
Piglet & Nick are at Heritage Boiler Steam Services with an update on No. 80135's boiler!
