Last weekend my Bagnall ("Shirley") went through her boiler and steam test=
s
to the new boiler testing regime=2E I am pleased to say that she passed w=
ith
flying colours=2E
One new item of information they now require on the certificate is the "ba=
r
litres" of the boiler=2E This is simply the product of the volume in litr=
es
and the working pressure in bar=2E =20
The latter is readily available, the former not so easy=2E In my case I j=
ust
emptied the boiler into a container of known size and eventually determine=
d
that Shirley has a boiler capacity of 17=2E5 litres=2E
So, if following their boiler test people wish to send me their locomotive=
description and whether or not it is a "standard" boiler together with its=
capacity in litres, I am happy to host this detail on my site=2E So, othe=
r
members, with similar locos needn't go through a lot of hassle to measure
it, they can just look it up=2E
Any thoughts=3F
Cheers
Peter
