Cliff,
I agree with you regarding testing the boiler at a club, I have made
several boilers ....too many to think of right now and am familier with
the procedure. The intention is to test the Brit boiler, hydraulic and
of course steam, however some clubs like to see boilers in various
stages of manufacture and as this cannot be so with the Brit, the next
best thing would of course be the original cert.
With regard to the fella in question from what I have heard there may
well be quite a few people looking for him!!!

Hi,
If that fella was the one in Wales who did a runner with several peoples
Winson kits you have no chance. He was supposedly an expert at sorting
out problems with Winson kits but only seemed to sort out his own
Brittania.I know of a guy who took his Jubilee and it came back much the
same as it went. At least he got his loco back.
I think that if find this bloke a lot of other people would like to meet
him. With regards to the Winson Certificate it is only an Hydraulic Test
.A club inspector is still going to want to do a steam test and you may
as well let the club inspector do an hydraulic test before the boiler is
put onto the frames.It keeps every body happy and I have heard of Winson
Boilers with certificates that leaked like sieves. With my 14XX, I made
two trips from Cornwall to Derby.The first was for an Club Boiler
Hydraulic Test even though I tested it and I also have the Winson
Certificate and the second was for the Club steam test.
Regards
Clif
