Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring for a test?

We recommend that each owner brings their entire locomotive including tender if it has one. We also suggest bringing your blower and set of blanking plugs if having a hyrdraulic test.

If you do not have a set of blanking plugs these can be supplied at additional cost but will delay completion awaiting delivery. Any previous certification/paperwork should also be provided if possible.

How long does a complete test take?

We work in a timely manner and arrange a date and time to suit the customer. A cold exam, hydraulic and steam test can take 6 - 12 hours to complete depending on if any issues are found. If parts are required that aren't in stock we have space to store locomotives for a customer to collect once the certification is complete. 

Do you offer any additional services?

Yes, we offer additional services including: boiler washout, minor repairs and modifications and general maintenance to keep your engine running smoothly.
