227 is having boiler work done. We replaced the old boiler with a 1902 A&P boiler and it went to its 1st rally in 1979. We had a friend who had a ride on your Mac (127) 20-30 years ago and he said it looks,rides and sounds the same as 227. I have seen 455 running and the gears sound just the same. I think thats why they were called ding a ling. 514 which is in the North Island would be one of the first 4 shaft but I think 520 is a 3 shaft?
