Our mainstay locomotive Tinkerbell No. 3 successfully passed her annual boiler exam, receiving her ticket from John Glaze - the man who ticketed Tornado.

Finding a boiler inspector at short notice around April is no easy task, but luckily Jonh Glaze - the man who ticketed Tornado - was in the area and available. I first met John whilst drinking tea with the Duke of Gloucester team at the East Lancashire Railway back in 2008, and once the cold examination was complete we shared a couple more whilst Tinkerbell attained pressure.
