Boiler Plate Forming

The top photos show shoulder patches being formed on a Standard 4 tank locomotive boiler. This is an original repair method favoured by Crewe and Derby, and the Severn Valley Railway has practiced this repair method for nearly 30 years. It is a cost effective, reliable and proven repair procedure dating back from the middle of the 19th century.
