Henbury’s Boiler Returns

Good news as Henbury’s boiler has arrived back at M-Shed. I believe this boiler dates from 1955 as it was a new one fitted to ‘Mackenzie’ which had the winged smokebox front typical of earlier Pecketts. In or around 1960, the boiler was fitted to ‘Henbury’ which previously had a straight smokebox front.

Lots of steps still to go through on re-assembly but the boiler is one of the biggest hurdles in any overhaul!

  1. Good to see it back from Overhaul at long last, hopefully soon it can be in steam again on the wharf being enjoyed in a PBA style shunting display.
