    Bulleid Pacific boiler pressure

    I'm sorry to disagree but Bodmin was 250psi. The St5 was 225psi but as I say the Bulleids, 07, 16 and 105 were 250psi. I'll leave it there now.

    The Bulleids that have been on the MHR over the years, and indeed those visiting examples that I've driven have all been rated at 250psi.
