Our projects
Well-Tank
We are undertaking a heavy general overhaul of the Kerr-Stuart (#3063) 0-4-0 well-tank, supplied new to the National Shipyard in Chepstow in 1918. Upon completion the locomotive will become the Flour Mill’s works shunter.
31
In 2009 we put new tyres on Hudswell Clarke (#1026) 0-6-0 no. 31 supplied new to McAlpine’s in 1913, on behalf of Sir William McAlpine.
T9, 30120
We have overhauled the ex-LSWR ‘Greyhound’, 4-4-0 no. 120, later BR T9 no. 30120, built in London at Nine Elms in 1899. Owned by the National Railway Museum, it is on loan to the Bodmin and Wenford Railway. The locomotive will be formally presented to the public at a special event on 2 September, prior to their gala on 3-5 September.
Chevallier
On behalf of the Whitecliff Improvement Company we have undertaken a heavy general overhaul of the 2’ 6” gauge Manning Wardle (#1877) 0-6-2 Chevallier, supplied new to the Admiralty in 1915. The locomotive will be a guest at the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway gala on 3-5 September.
Rocket
We have built a new replica of Stephenson’s 0-2-2 Rocket, on behalf of the National Railway Museum, incorporating the driving wheels, cylinders, chimney and some fittings from the previous replica.
The boiler of 5538
We are undertaking exploratory work on the boiler of GWR ‘small prairie’ 2-6-2 5538 on behalf of Pull Push Ltd.
Mech. Navvies Ltd. 71515
On behalf Mary Mahabir we undertook an urgent overhaul of this Robert Stephenson 'Austerity' 0-6-0, formerly known as 68005 when it operated on the Embsay Railway. It has required new cylinder liners and extensive plate replacement to the outer firebox, in order to be ready for the opening of the Pontypool & Blaenavon's extension in May. It has since travelled to the Foxfield Railway.
The boiler of 6960, Raveningham Hall
In 2009 we completed the overhaul of the boiler of Jeremy Hosking’s GWR ‘Modified Hall’ 4-6-0 6960, which has involved significant repairs to all four sides of the outer firebox, and replacement of portions of both ends of the barrel and front tube plate, as well as the normal re-tubing.
No. 8
In 2009 we took delivery of the frames of No 8, a 1944 Robert Stephenson Austerity 0-6-0, on behalf of Phil Williams. The locomotive requires a complete overhaul before returning to the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway.
Sapper
We have recently taken delivery of Sapper, another Austerity 0-6-0, this time a Hunslet, on behalf of a private owner. The locomotive requires boiler work.
King Feisal of Iraq
This 1944 Hunslet ‘Austerity’ has just arrived at the Flour Mill for a heavy general overhaul.
