| After the Steam Special at the end of May, we borrowed a compressor to test the loco's air system. A couple of faults were found - the more serious problem being a pipe which has a hole in it caused by the sandite rotting the pipe away. One of the brake cylinders has had to be changed and the throttle valve in no. 2 cab has been overhauled as part of it had seized. The old batteries were removed and the battery box repainted pending installation of the new batteries recently purchased. One of the auto-drain valves on the air system has been replaced. No. 1 cab's rear wall, doors and window frames have had their top coat applied and the cab is now looking quite complete again. Two of the cab side panels from no. 1 cab have been coated with primer. |
