Overhaul update
Overhaul update
This is the outer slide of the cross head for the Right hand combination lever. On the 19th we decided to check if it was the right way up - it wasn’t! This led to the combination lever being about 6 or 7mm out of line with its union link at the bottom. After a bit of dismantling to release the offending part we rotated it through 180 degrees and reassembled everything and all was well as the next pic shows.
Right hand Drop link, union link and combination lever all in line and temporarily assembled.
And the same on the Left hand side.
The newly cleaned Left hand drain cock pipes also temporarily assembled so that...
...their clamps or clips could be positioned correctly as seen here.
Both sets of pipes are seen here - the Right hand (and yet to be cleaned) ones at the front contrast with the newly cleaned and tidied Left hand ones at the back. Both sets will returned to storage when finished to await final assembly after the cylinder cladding has been fitted.
Work on the boiler may have come to a standstill at the moment but Brian (of the paid staff) continues to move things on with the smokebox with the fitting of the new number plate. Now it’s down to the painters to clean up and prime the whole thing.
