THE overhaul of SR ‘King Arthur’ No. 777 Sir Lamiel, at the Great Central Railway (GCR), reached a milestone in early December, when the first of the new stays were screwed in. Efforts continue to complete the stay and set screw work and move on to preparing for the purchase of tubes.
The news follows on from the positive report from the boiler inspector and the subsequent removal of the required number of stays and set screws.
