This Wednesday marked a small but significant step in the finalising of the overhaul cost of Taff Vale No.28. Whilst the main focus of the last 18 months has been the overhaul of Haulwen a small team has been working in the background to revise and update the overhaul costs for TVR 28.
As part of this work Wednesday saw us visited by David Abbe of Fides NDT services. David was down to carry out a detailed NDT survey of the boiler. This report will help us finalise the list of repairs the boiler needs and there likely cost. This is then the final piece in the puzzle in working out the likely overhaul cost of 28.
We will be launching a fund raising appeal for the overhaul of the loco this autumn, if you would like to support the return to steam of TVR 28 in the interim you can make a donation via the following link and it will go in to a ring fenced pot for the loco.
