• Hi folks,
  Thanks for having me,
  Just had an hour in the garage coaxing some life back into a flatbase se2 I picked up for just £30
  
  Had to replace the steam pipe O ring and trunnion spring but did manage to make it run on air. The homemade whistle wasn’t great so I fitted a 60’s one.
  
  Steam test this week and video all being well.
  
  Liam.

• Here it is in all its glory, sticker on the base says it went through CHASteam’s hands at some stage.
  A bit of nostalgia for those of us who dealt with CHAS
