[modeleng] Re: Second hand boilers

Mike Leahy may see this and respond, but if not, his article in ME gave a 
lot of useful information.

If you dont have it, I will look out the issue number.

Subject: [modeleng] Second hand boilers


Hi there All,

Does anyone know what the position is regaurding second hand boilers, in
as much as:-

*If I buy a second hand loco and it has no boiler paperwork, and is not
professionally made, but it looks okay (I agree this is no gaurantee that
it wont fail a boiler test); has been used prior to the new regulations,
but I have no way of prooving this, will I be able to get my club to give
it a boiler certificate?

ALSO

* I instead I buy the loco from a second hand loco dealer, who has bought
the loco under the same similar circumstances, but then tests the boiler
and issues it with a certificate to say it has had a steam and hydraulic
test; where will I stand as far as a club boiler tester is concerned, will
they refuse to issue it with a Northern or Southern fed boiler
certificate?

Yours,


Rich.
