Blanche came out of traffic in March 2003 and has to be working again in early 2004. Initially the engine was stored and then in June 2003 we organised a week long working party to remove the old boiler

2003 Working Parties

The boiler removal working party was completed successfully.

Details can be seen on this link Removing the old Boiler

2004 Working Parties

At the moment we don't plan on holding any Blanche  working parties on Blanche until sometime in July after the boiler is delivered and after K When has left for Dinas making space in the workshops for Blanche. When we have a plan we'll post it here.

Meanwhile work continues on Merddin Emrys to get him up and running for the 2005 season.

The big issue for the moment is raising enough money to pay for the boiler. I would really welcome help with this and would love to hear from you..
