As a bit of a follow up, it would always cause some amusement when I'd refer to 5212 as "the Wallpaper engine!" The reply being what do you mean "Wallpaper engine?!" To which I'd explain about the Solvite ad. Mind you I've heard that they didn't actually use Solvite to stick the paper on, how true or otherwise that is I couldn't honestly say........Micky wrote:Nice one 2392 i like stories like that a direct link with something that had happened 40+ years earlier.2392 wrote:Indeed when 5212 was restored last time round at Grosmont on the NYMR, fragments of the paper were found still stuck to obscure out of the way places on the engine.
