The A1 Trust (builders and operators of the new-build Peppercorn 4-6-2 in the UK) have posted an update regarding their investigation of the failure of the locomotive’s inside valve gear which occurred earlier this year: https://www.a1steam.com/2018/10/29/octo ... ir-update/ |

I'm no expert on mechanics, but I would call what the A-1 Trust has done, very thorough, rational, and professional, without any of the gnashing of teeth or rending of garments, or other histrionics and recriminations that would accompany such an incident over here. Also, how many technical reports in this country would use the word "whilst"? Good show, old chaps! |

Just in case you haven't spotted it, this is also of note on their page..... https://www.a1steam.com/2018/10/30/repa ... statement/ ..so nothing on the main line until 2019 now. The "to DBC's satisfaction" seems to be generating a bit of debate on one of the UK Forums........ |
