Driving Sirapite AND My Fire Engine at the Leiston Long Shop's 40th Anniversary
Hello everyone,
Over the weekend Lawrie was invited to take part in the Long Shop's 40th Anniversary event by crewing the resident Steam Locomotive Sirapite, and by bringing his Dennis RS130 to join the festivities - will the notoriously unreliable fire engine make it?
If you want to find out more about the Long Shop, have a look at their website here: www.longshopmuseum.co.uk/
A video featuring:
Lawrie - Presenter, excited to get back on Sirapite,
Tom - Fireman/Chauffeur, excited for a day on the shovel,
Ben - Cameraman/cleaner, excited for a day on the footplate,

    It’s Sirapite NOT Siraphite! Did you not consider wrapping some rag around the water gauges to keep them clean when you lit the boiler. What do you mean nothing else to do, you could always get some Brasso and a rag and have a polish up, does that explain why the visiting engines are all smart and shiny and the museum engines are filthy. Would have been nice to hear a few words about the Clayton, mighty fine engine that deserves a mention.

    If you try spraying the axle with contact cleaner you should dissolve and drive out the old grease and dirt, then you can apply the new oil knowing it will do it's job better. Best of all, you won't need to dismantle the valve gear.

    Serapite... what a bloody great clanking thing, and I _absolutely_ love it :D Haven't we seen it on the channel before, though, in a way that wasn't mentioned in the video? I get the impression that Serapite travels, under certain circumstances... it accompanied that really, really big locomotive on its celebratory return to the UK, as I recall, the one where it was a private railway and you weren't allowed to tell us whose or where. I remember the other locomotive that day being just like Serapite, essentially a railway-going traction engine, and I remember commenting on that, after that video as well. I can't imagine there're terribly many put together like that...
