Well it had to have new cylinders and steam chests. No idea if it was a monobloc or three separate castings - is it relevant ?
IIRC there was going to be a scale model of the gear produced to check fit and function, followed by a test rig featuring one full scale set of...

Nope.
I caught wind of it after the event, but saw it on the end of the lunch time news, don’t know if it was full length, but a real eye-opener. They...
