'Allotted to ORD2 for Trailers Cooker'
Did the auction happen to list the boiler numbers, Tony? Mike

I don't think the 2nd cooker included the boiler, it was not visible in the pics.
Neither item description included a boiler number, but the boiler certificate shows 2 numbers: 2632 and BIA B19078. Do either of them sound like the original format?

2632 is about right for a Wiles Junior: thanks Tony.
Burning the midnight oil again, Tony? Mike

Alarm goes off at 6. Sundays are like every other day around here. Morning coffee = check the email, check the forums, check several news feeds, head along the passage to the office....
2632 is the highest boiler number I have heard of - the next is 2492 on ARN 163114. But it is close enough to be the original boiler, as the records I have for the Juniors have very few boiler numbers recorded, and there are enough of them to reach 2632 at least. Wiles boilers, unlike the chassis/equipment numbers, appear to be a simple progression, so adding up the Seniors, statics and juniors, and possibly the spares, it easily comes to 2632. Mike

I bought the scrap cooker mainly to assist in restoration of another junior.
This one did have a boiler and an oven with a build date of 1971, similar to an oven I bought from Ian Tankards collection a couple of years ago. I have enough to put three Juniors back into operation.
