1934 8NHP Marshall 87005, 'The Brigadier' is another engine which made its debut at the Bedford Steam & Country Fayre 2024. When we collected the engine, the piston was initially seized. When the motion was dismantled the piston rings had an unusual arrangement. Fortunately the bore of the cylinder was good thus we have replaced the rings with a standard set. Upon steaming the engine to test the new rings out the Brigadier blew a couple of tubes and has subsequently had a replacement set. While doing these works Marston Steam has repainted the engine using the traditional technique of coach painting and the motion work has been plated in an anti rust Nisheen finish. We pride ourselves in painting this way and do not spray.
