Is it true its down to 140PSI?

I know top gear is a fair bit lower than mine, but I bet it barely pulls itself along

Dont know about now but when i was useing her there was no restriction on her and trundled along at a good lick.
You had to go well so you could get to the next water stop as there were more holes in the tender than in my garden sieve:confused:.

Tom Gregory's Marshall was worn out in 1962.
 
The little Marshall roller recently sold on Berribrook was worn out in 1962. It wasnt any better in about 1965 when i drove it a bit at Appleford rally. The reverser could be mounted in a number of places, some better than others. Wouldnt steam worth a damn, wouldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding. Tom spent ages trying to sell her, eventually got 140 pounds, which paid for a MUCH better replacement( A Fowler, from the same scrap yard). Tom died suddenly before getting the Fowler out to work or play. Regards David Powell.
