West Somerset Restoration Contract Portfolio
Narrow Gauge Locomotive No 3355.
Williton Restoration Works has recently completed contract repairs to Narrow Gauge Locomotive No 3355 and obtained boiler certification through our Boiler Insurers.
The boiler required the replacement of some of the foundation ring rivets, copper firebox stays, the rivets in the fire hole door aperture and repairs to the fitting mounts.
In addition work was carried out to remove waterside lime scale from the internal water spaces.
On completion this was then followed by a hydraulic and steam test as required by our Insurance Company.
