Boiler inspector yorkshire
 

Looking for a boiler inspector for my large scale model who covers the west yorkshire area. Any recommendations? Obviously have to wait for all this mess to sort itself out before doing the actual test but maybe able to start paperwork side and advise so its ready to go when we are not on lock down.
Any help appreciated

Donald is your man, a whole wealth of experience and a thoroughly nice chap aswell.

Theres always Dave and Matt Wothers, they do mine!

Would recommend Jonathan Wheeler. He’s up north regularly

Jonathan does a good job for me and the Forncett Steam Museum. I know some people have said he is a bit cautious, well so am I when it's my face next to my Burrell and the general public next to the Cochran at the museum.

Hi,
I can recommend Chris Shuttleworth, he is based in East Yorkshire, Foston on the Wolds.
He does both my 6" McLaren, and 9" Burrell, so is used to big scale models, very reliable, and professional.
His number is 07970452092.
Regards

I would much rather have a cautious inspector than one who does his testing without getting out of the car! Whilst I like to think I've been around boilers long enough to know if they're safe or not before I call the inspector out there's always the possibly that we've missed something. That's why we employ a professional.

Thanks everyone for your replies and messages.hopefully sorted now and can move closer to getting that first fire in the engine

Thanks for your suggestions folks, but I am not working at the moment

I am respecting the government lock down and not travelling.

I consider the coronavirus pandemic to be a threat to life as we know it and travelling round the country irresponsible at this time. Yes it will hit me in the pocket at this my busiest time of year, but I consider health is more important than money.

I heard today of an inspector still travelling half the length of the country to do an inspection, even stopping on route to fit another job in; I ask you is this right?

Stay safe folks, stay at home. We are all in this together.

Well said JW. Don’t see the point in busting a gut to get a boiler ticket when we can’t take our steeds out anyway!

Well said.

Can recommend Chris. He does my boilers

Totally agree with the social distance so cant do the actual test but the paperwork side is on with now so at least moving in the right direction.

At the moment, no boiler inspector needs to travel. We must all realise by now, that no steam rallys or heritage rail will be operating for the forseeable future. At least for this year. Why owners or operators whould even think about getting an engine tested at the moment, is beyond me. All the insurance companies know and understand this. Why would anyone sensible ask or have someone to travel to there premises and test such. Corona Virus has claimed a number of lives up to now. Don't make it any worse.

I've given up on this year, can't see anything happening except some end of season pub do's and bonfire parties.

I had my cold test in Feb, when the inspector left I put the fusible back in and the firebars and it's not been touched since.
