Work Continues

Work is still continuing, all though it has been delayed due to work and the ever changing British Weather.

Never the less, all the pipe work has now been fully cleaned and primed. All the gaskets that have come off are deemed re-usable and are now in store awaiting there time to be re-fitted. All the bolts and nuts have been freed and are now awaiting their turn to be cleaned. Over the next couple of weeks, these will all be undercoated and glossed, to which they will go into store until the time is right for re-attachment.

Speaking of undercoating, the brake gear off the east side is now starting to have undercoat applied. So far, the brake shoes, the handle and the tension bars are now sitting in the charcoal grey we have all missed. All being well, if the weather stays good, the brake hangers and pivot will also receive undercoat tomorrow. These again will be glossed and placed into storage whilst we start attacking the sole bar, wheels and axle boxes.

As you can see, work is continuing. Soon major work will be started, and for a time being it will seem like nothing is being done, however we will keep you informed of every development to come. Also Pictures will be added to here and the website.
