THE boiler from 2ft gauge 0-10-0T Orenstein & Koppel with Luttermöller articulation which arrived at ‘Workshop X’ in March 2022 following its purchase by Matt Dolby (RM, May 2022) was sent to Israel Newton for repair and re-tubing in early December.
ISLE of Man Steam Railway Supporters Association volunteers cosmetically restoring the Isle of Man Steam Railway’s Beyer Peacock 2-4-0T No. 5 Mona lifted the boiler back into the frames at Port St Mary station goods shed on December 13. The cab was then also lifted back into position. The aim is to complete the project in time for the railway’s 150th anniversary this year.
