The Locomotive
Boiler
The boiler will be a brand new parallel G9 ½”S boiler to the original Derby design as was originally carried by the LMS Patriot class from new. 18 Patriots were later rebuilt with a Stanier 2A taper boiler and other modifications. However, the LMS Patriot Project proposes to build the locomotive to the original parallel design, as shown below.
The LMS-Patriot Project intends to build a traditional boiler with copper firebox and is currently in discussion with boiler makers in the UK.
