Members Activites
Our members come from all walks of life and backgrounds. Some have been born into a “steam family ” whilst others have taken the plunge and entered the preservation movement by purchasing their own pride and joys. Which ever route has been taken there is always maintenance to be done. This section provides an insight into what it takes to keep these majestic machines running and safe. Have a look through cards below at various projects undertaken.
We hope to keep this section alive by adding other activities to the list as and when a project is undertaken by our membership.
Club visit to local boiler makers H Maskell & Sons.
Hot Riveting Demonstration
Richard Maskell is seen demonstrating the art of hot riveting where the rivet is heated till cherry red and then placed through the pre drilled hole before being pressed under hydraulic load to squash and permanently fix the steel plates together.
