Flying Scotsman: hot riveting the boiler 

So much safety gear the old timers never had. Way better now rather than going deaf and losing eyes. Great work

That boiler is absolutely massive!

Well done ian and his crew for the excellent overhaul work!!! :D

riveters 100 years ago just throwing those red hot rivets up high and catch them with a tin can lol

could there be lots more videos of flying scotsmans overhaul please, its very interesting, and lets us all see the progress.

@EastMidlandsSteam They could do one which hassent been steamed in years E.G.4003,92220,245,4073.21C151 or 60022

will it be restored with smoke deflectors

@scotsman125 not such a bad thing, the smoke deflectors were predominantley a post br adition. although she did lok good with them, its not the LNER way...

thats masive

So are rivets stronger and more secure than using a nut and bolt?

Next Job..Green Arrow or Duchess of Hamilton!

@penninefilms hell yeah!

Omg. How not to rivet!!

Dear lord! You're ready for a pint after a day of that. And every one has the huge headphones on so no talking just doing.
