We are intending to use Eigiau on our January 25th winter steam up day. The fire bars were badly worn and distorted so we’ve been making new ones. These were installed on 16th January 2025 and test fired by Harry and Peter on Friday 17th. All a great success. Assuming nothing goes wrong this week it will be pulling carriages on 25th January.
Old fire bars removed
First milling of new fire bar
Spacers and ends welded on and milled
First one checked for size
Into production
Installed ready for testing
First test firing 16th Jan 2025
Peter make sure all is ok on a test run.
