B1 Out of Action

61264 has suffered an exploding cylinder. It will be out of use for the entire Jacobite season at least. There's speculation that it was due to water in the cylinder from the night before (it was the first movement of the day), but this hasn't been confirmed. The Jacobite will be deputised by Ian Riley's Black 5 and that GWR engine they used for Harry Potter (can't think of it's number/name), with the K1 getting up there as soon as it can. Also, Tangmere's combination lever is playing up again, it'll be out of service for two months. Where the combination levers a problem oon the Bullied's in the days of real steam?
