Bristol boiler

[NW Mailing List]

I never realized that using old locos as stationary boilers was as
prevalent as responses indicate.  I also, don't remember this topic being
covered by an Arrow article.  If there are a few photos and some
remembrances, looks like this could be a nice little article that I believe
many would find quite interesting, hint, HINT!  I would be more than happy
to help put it together if someone would take point on this.
Thanks,
Jim Cochran
