Because Great Britain is the way it is, the Atomic Pig boiler is a was a hand stoked coal fired portable boiler built by the Admiralty and used to provide shoreside auxiliary steam to nuclear submarines tied up at the pier side. She now performs everyday work at a sewage company, to fit hose ends for the tanker trucks. There will come another video as later we are due to run a high speed steam engine with her and make quite a lot of DC power.
I have always said heritage is a misnomer and does not actually exist, because these machines are still the machines they were when built and the laws of physics have not changed since then, so understand them, use them and care for them as you would have back then. You will find they are more useful than the garbage built today.
