Work is now well underway. The brakes on the east side have been disassembled. Keith on Saturday cleaned the brake shoes and the break Handle. These are now sitting in the red oxide primer.
On Tuesday, work concentrated separating the brake bars from the wooden strengheners, something that was somewhat difficult on one, especially as there was no way to grip the pin on one set. This was dealt with by using mole grips, a couple of spanners and penetrating oil. All 4 of these bars have now been cleaned up and also sit in primer. These will be undercoated and glossed in due course then put in storage, possibly for a year as work on the sole bar will now be under way.
We still need to dismantle the pipe work, however I am assured the bolts have received oil and should be easy to move come Tuesday. Work on Tuesday will be mainly around the removal of the rest of the pipe work, we may even clean it up ready to go on.
As you can tell, a lot of work is scheduled for A6581, with a possible completion around 2016/7. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
