No2 Boy Roger in Works for rebuild

Submitted by andrew.sdr on

Loco No2 Boy Roger is now back in Low End Works for yet another major rebuild!

This time the loco will receive similar treatment as applied earlier to No1 A B Titty. But unlike No1 she will retain her original frames and cylinders because she has a Mamod Mk1 chassis which has proved to be powerful and performs well.

The project will entail:

  • New high pressure boiler, burner and inline displacement lubricator supplied by RWM Steam
  • New firebox and smokebox supplied by Dream Steam
  • New wheels (originally supplied by Dream Steam and recovered from No1 when replaced by an RWM Steam chassis)
  • Side tanks to be replaced by a saddle tank
  • New cab
  • New footplate
  • New chimney; with brass cap supplied by Roundhouse Engineering Ltd
Nos 2 and 1 side by side
New cab for No2
