    ON OCTOBER 2, the boiler belonging to Bulleid Merchant Navy Pacific No. 35011 General Steam Navigation was lifted from the frames for the first time since 1959, representing a key milestone in the 4-6-2’s restoration at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway.

    Built by North British in Glasgow in January 1941, the boiler has been attached to the ex-Barry scrapyard locomotive since its last overhaul at Eastleigh in July 1959.
