Work this week started on the handbrake pivot support bracket located in the center. This has been fully cleaned back and is now primed. Photo below shows it in its primer coat. It shall not be long till it is in its grey undercoat.

After the above area was completed work started on cleaning the north east axle box. As previously mentioned in past posts, the way of working at present is to concentrate upon one area and to re-attach items quicker, meaning we can maximize our storage.

As you can see, the guides, the main axle box and the W iron bars have all been cleaned and primed. All the writing found on the axle box is now visible.

As you may have noticed, work has also started on the axle tie bar, which is still in place. After releasing the bolts, it was found that the tie-bar ends have been bent inwards and made tight against the W iron bar, meaning it is not something that will come off. It has been decided to keep it in place and to tidy as we go along.
The back has also been cleaned and half has been primed. The other half will be re-cleaned and primed on the next occasion.
