the smokebox is in the process of being separated from the boiler, removing the double row of rivets that were wrongly drilled on the model |
the drag frame and rear beam
|
the rear beam seen from the rear - contrary to what I said under kit 6 on 23/1/06, the large plate is bolted on the rear of the smaller plate - but I think this is an error in the restoration, because I have a book with a photo of 70013 taken in 1967 which clearly shows it the other way round, as on 70000
|
a set of what I assume are new grate bars, with the old ones in the background, along with some old boiler tubes |
the bogie frame, showing the side control springs
|
the left-hand cylinder, newly machined - I was told that cylinder liners are to be fitted
|
the front end and saddle |
also seen at GCR today - an 8F in steam ... |
... and a Prairie tank engine |
the driving wheels, painted black |
the pony wheels and axleboxes
|
the inside of the frames, looking forward from the right-hand centre hornblock - the red paint extends from the rear of the stretcher in front of the front axle to the front of the stretcher behind the rear axle
|
the frame that supports the steam brake, situated between the driving and trailing axles |
the right-hand tender water filter |
the spring hanger boxes that I worked on today - the piece in the foreground holds the lower end of the spring hanger, and fits into the box above, with rubber shock-absorbing pads in between |
also seen at GCR today - the visiting Merchant Navy class 35030 |
and the Black 5 45305, a permanent resident at the GCR |
