an inspection means an ultrasound to check the quality of the plates of the boiler not too much work just time consuming and costly replacing the stays could be a big job however i beleive that the SHR enthusiast page says nothing about this problem though Confused

however regulator issues were fixed Smile

The enthusiast page isn't updated that often Sad

This issue was raised through word of mouth via people who have an association with 621 Wink

It turned out to be 1 stay was leaking and this has temporarily been fixed to allow 621 to continue working cockle trains during the holidays, but if the adjacent stays fail then its instant withdrawal of the boiler. 621 has never been used like this before, while under steamrangers care, so problems were bound to spring up

Gentlemen,

On good authority, 621 ONLY had ONE broken stay, Its been plugged, with the OK from the boiler inspector and is back on the south coast running the Cockle Trains.
