Work at Preston has again focussed on Great Western Railway 0-6-2T No. 5643. Ed and Ron have been drilling out some more stays.
Meanwhile, Sim, John Dixon and Keith have refitted the main brake shaft
prior to the vacuum cylinder being fitted. Needless to say, if there are two
trunnions to be fitted, the first attempt will see the trunnions the wrong way
round, but all is sorted now!
John Dixon has been tidying up the paintwork on the frames, attending to
those odd areas that seem to have been missed.
The lockers that are located in the cab have been refurbished and are now
gleaming. No dirty rags allowed in here!
