Another week and another update of work on the locomotive.
Words and pictures by Harry Spencer
The second axle box has now got its white metal.
The first box is now on the borer and a start has been made on machining it out.
On the frames, riveting work has been carried out to the front soul bar section with Mister Healey on the guns, Mister Roper on the jack. And Mister Chivers pumping one out… as the jack
Mister Chivers has been busy making new bolts for the bent pony which still needs bending back straight.
Finally for this week, the pony truck wheels are slowly being painted up with one wheel in undercoat grey and the other set in being sanded for gloss black.
