What a turn-about for that worn Mersey. You've done some amazing work, Steve. It looks fantastic.

I once had one of those and it refurbed beautifully...but not quite as nice as yours.  Really good work, it looks factory new.

Thanks Paul i really want to steam this engine and i keep boffing on about getting new wicks for the burner.
I would like to use gel fuel on this as it does not ruin the boiler with soot and staining...I may have worked out a way to make some slim fuel trays from thick foil cooking trays that will fit through the side vents ,,so watch this space it could happen soon ;D....Steve
