We took a big step forwards today with Prince Edward of Wales's boiler passing its hydraulic test under the watchfull eyes of our boiler inspector. At the same time Joan, Billie, Railway Queen, and the Cagney passed their cold exams. This is a very fitting day for these locos as it is also 150 years ago today that Henry Greenly was born. He was the great engineer who designed Prince Edward of Wales and then went on to design our bigger locos to replace them. Now its all fingers crossed for them to pass the hot exam later this month ready for our first little locos day on the 28th June and then again on the following sunday July 5th.
With thanks to Gary for the pics
