Sunday, 23.1.11. No. 7 is alone and cold... |

...in the shed... |

...while Trefor and Mike warm themselves in the S&T shed... |
|

...after re-piping the steam feed to the air pump, in an effort to
improve its performance. |

Friday, 28.1.11. Andy gives an armless demonstration of the bogie centre
pivot components... |

...while Richard looks lost... |
|

...before Andy gets back to working on the frame of carriage No. 22.
|

Saturday, 29.1.11. The first components to be manufactured for No. 10
have been delivered! |

The sheds are a hive of activity as No. 7 has its cold boiler exam and
Steve Parr drills brake linkages for the carriages... |
|

...while in the Carriage Shed, Andy gives a good impression of working
on No. 22, while the real workers, Dick and Adrian, just get on with it!
|

Nearby, Richard oils the axleboxes of No. 21's bogie during a lull in
re-fixing the bogie pivot. |

Electrical power systems are gradually being installed down the shed.
|
|

Back in the engine shed, Graham, Mike, Trefor (behind) and Dave discuss
regulators after No. 7 has passed its cold exam... |

...while outside, Paul is nearing the end of the work on the south loop
turnout re-gauging. |

Later, Alan Cox, Richard and (under the carriage) Andy work on replacing
the bogie under the carriage... |
|

...while on No. 22, Adrian appears to have had his legs cut off! |

The sun has gone, temperatures have dropped, but Paul, Richard and Dick
have almost completed bolting up the turnout - it just needs adjustment
and fixing down. |

Graham has been steadily working on machining the slide bars for No. 7
in the workshop... |
|

...accompanied by Steve, still drilling brake linkages for the
carriages. |

Trefor and Mike work on re-plumbing parts of No. 7. |

Competition time - What on earth are these?? |
|

Sunday, 30.1.11. Trefor is very happy, re-fixing the safety valve
assembly on No. 7... |

...while Richard cleans up in No. 22. |

21 is back on its wheels, just in need of a brake test... |
|

Dave joins Trefor with a paned. |

A picture of controversy! |

Richard and Andy celebrate the completion of the last weld on No. 22, as
Richard pauses while painting the frames in undercoat. |
|

A good array of fittings await installation in the pit... |

...while Frank has been found light duties! |
