I SAW SEVERAL ORIGINAL BULLEIDS WORSE FOR WEAR AFTER THE BOILER LAGGING UNDER THE AIR-SMOOTHED CASING CAUGHT FIRE. THE ORIGINAL CHAIN-DRIVEN VALVE GEAR RAN IN AN OIL BATH THAT WAS NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT TO SEAL AND IT ONLY TOOK A SPARK THROWN UP BY A HARD APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES TO SET THE WHOLE LOT ALIGHT.
