    I've never before in my life heard a GWR Hall described as "reliable in high fire risk conditions". Is it an oil burner or something? :confused:

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Fitted with a really good spark arrestor, modern design of over door ashpan, can be worked round the whole railway in 1st valve no drama. Was our most reliable last year in the high fire risk season
