Fiddler passed its hydraulic test successfully on Tuesday. In the photo below, Joe Moore (Zurich's boiler inspector) and Vincent Allen pump the water pressure up to 300psi (150% normal working pressure) for half an hour to prove the soundness of the boiler and new tubes. This was successfully accomplished and the steamtest is planned for next Thursday.
I mentioned elsewhere the road making gallery at Amberley Chalk Pits Museum. Here are a few more images that illustrate this excellent display. Note the Phoenix Tar Boiler - a photo of our own is included by contrast!
