With seven months to go before the 200th anniversary run, Guy joins David Wright and the team to tackle one of the key steam-age skills: hot riveting. Working on the new chimney section for the Locomotion No.1 replica, he heats rivets to white-hot, hammers them into place and learns how the technique held together the high-pressure boilers that powered the first trains. It’s graft, heat, noise and proper old-school engineering — and a vital step in finishing the replica in time for the big celebration. Part of The British Train That Changed The World — now on Channel 4. A proper watch, this.
