Welcome to the Canadian Pacific restoration project – part 3.
The Canadian Pacific restoration project – part 3, often called the CanPac project, is about the restoration of the Merchant Navy class locomotive, number 35005, Canadian Pacific and also two carriages designed by Oliver Bulleid in the 1940s.
In this episode we are in the boiler shop at Ropley. I talk to Becky and also to Sam, a fully qualified boiler inspector. Sam originally started as an apprentice at Ropley before leaving to become a boiler inspector. Tiring of inspections Sam returned earlier this year.
Becky and I talk about the progress of the project and Sam talks about the technical considerations of repairing boilers for steam engines.
