I don't have chapter and verse but I believe it comes from an E U Regulation
which was then translated into English. We have horrible regs on boilers
since Mr. Europe I know it all decided to interfere. Our version has been
translated down a bit but is still grim.
Bureaucrats who want to justify their existence have a lot to answer for -
and those in Brussels are particularly bad as they actually believe their
role is to protect us from ourselves.
Still, working in Boston Lodge was fun. I spent the last couple of days
helping to put Blanche, over 100 years old, back together again having had a
new boiler fitted.

Peter,
Thanks for the info on hand firing those Fairlies. I always wondered how
one could manage inside the cab with the fire doors on the sides of the
boilers. Now I see, you have to stick parts of your anatomy outside the cab
to load the grates.
Now, why would some idiot of a bureaucrat come up with some sort of
regulations concerning the diameter of the air piping? I mean, usually
pipes (at least here in the USA) are tested to about 1,000 PSI (453 KG) per
square inch. I doubt that anyone's compressor will reach that kind of
pressure except maybe in an industrial setting.
