WINSON STEEL BOILERS 7 1/4

[n269580]

Hello All,
I hope someone can help me.

Does anybody know who made/constructed the Winson boilers for there 7 1/4 INCH GAUGE LYNTON & BARNSTAPLE 2-4-2T "LYN". 
Winson built 10 back in the 1990's but I am after boiler history rather than locomotive history. 

If people do, is the company still around as trying to trace a boiler and we have a code.

Thank you for you your time.

Many thanks

Bruce H.

Hi Bruce.
I volunteer with a former employee of Winson who tells me that all of the steel Lyn boilers were made in house.
I asked him the question because I need a boiler and was hoping to use the original builder.

I don't know what happened to any records when the company went under - I'd be surprised if anyone thought to save them.

Hi Ian,

Many thanks indeed.

That's great.

Shame about the records though.

Best of luck with sourcing your boiler.
