Overhaul update
A final summary of the work completed just before Christmas 2016.
The cab sides no longer in place having been removed on Saturday 10th December.
The bottom of the drag box in the process of being of having the final rivets burned out by the paid staff.
The bottom of the drag box on the forklift truck after removal.
The empty space where the drag box lives showing the cross member at the front which can only be removed after the rear driving wheels have been taken out. The bar across the frames is there to keep the frames at the correct distance apart whilst work is carried out on the drag box and the surrounding area.
The underside of the front of the loco where the pony truck is fitted showing some of the oil pipes that need removal so that cleaning can take place before the area can be painted.
Another view of the area normally occupied by the pony truck, and the pipework now accessible for removal, cleaning and painting.
