My site visit today revealed that a bent steam blowdown nipple and another leaky fitting prevented a full 300psi steamup of 2926.
Not sure the pressure level reached, but no doubt repairs and another fireup attempt will occur again in a few days.

A clever, custom-designed, foldaway 'road foreman' seat behind the engineer's should get an award.
