I have been building LBSC Mona for about 35 years with several interuptions by life. I started the boiler whilst on a summer school course at Loughborogh in the late 1970s. I am now nearing completion but am wondering if it will comply with any new regs it being built to LBSCs original words and music. Any advise please.

Hi Philip.

You do not say if you are a member of any of the many clubs/societies around the country, if you are not then I would strongly advise, as a first step forward, that you do consider joining one. By being a member you should be able to gain a lot of information on the current ‘new regs’ as you describe them, along with their implementation. There are several different ‘umbrella’ Associations/Federations around the UK but they should (?) all be working to the (in)famous ‘Blue Book’ which sets out all of the requirements for boiler testing, However you will still not beat talking to a ‘club boiler tester’ in a club near you to get the most up to date and best information.

Hi Philip,

Like you I started building a Caribou in 1977 then a change of job meant that it stood on the shelf for 25 years. I had started the boiler. My club boiler tester had a look at the drawings last year and only made one change. The dwgs called for brass for the various bits and pieces to be attached. These had to be changed to lead free phos bronze, otherwise no problems. HTH
