The Tangye engine at the National Waterways Museum

Currently undergoing restoration due to a failure in its white metal bearings. Formhalls, specialists in white metal bearing production since 1995, have been commissioned to remanufacture these components. Their process involves removing the old bearing material, recasting new bearings using high-grade white metal, and precision machining—including line boring—to ensure optimal fit and performance. This meticulous restoration will help preserve the engine’s operational integrity and historical significance.
