Hi there, John,

Thank you for sharing that with us.   :clap:   :clap:   :clap: 

I have a question - how does the ash get out of the boiler fire-box (on the beam engine)?   :scratch:   :scratch:   :scratch:

Thanks for the video - as a result I went along on Sunday for a visit (it isn't far, but I hadn't been for years).
