AUGUST 2026 Spotlight Talk: Tuesday 11 August 2026
Opportunities for enhancing NDT for heritage railways*

This presentation covers two topics: whether state-of-the-art NDT could better inform the 'refurbish versus new-build?' decision for heritage steam boilers; and how a better understanding of metal composition and degradation with extreme age could help improve NDT for ageing heritage railway components
by Professor Robert Smith, BINDT Past President, and Dr Becky Peacock, National Railway Museum
4.00 pm.
The meeting will be a webinar hosted via Zoom and registration is required in advance at: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8Jmelb8qT4CqztdBMHdZBw
