Before the replica Locomotion can turn a wheel, Guy helps lay fresh rails, drag the engine out of the shed and fire up its tiny boiler for the very first time. But getting the pressure up to 50 psi proves anything but simple — with a stubborn firebox, fading flames and hours of graft before the gauge even twitches. It’s steam-age frustration, oily rags, and proper trial-and-error as Guy discovers just how hard it is to wake a 200-year-old design from cold. Part of The British Train That Changed The World — now on Channel 4. A proper watch, this.
