One cab of the loco and a cab of the lorry

Another dusk shot

20 minutes later and it was slowly being edged of the lorry

The locomotive was brought into the platform for work to start bringing the locomotive to working order starting on the 13th february

In just a short period a new coat of paint is applied to tidy up its appearance

This was taken about 2 minutes after starting and before the engine was stopped with 6 pots not firing the smoke was beginning to clear. But futher repairs are required before another attempt is made to start the engine again

taken from the otherside of the engine. The replacement cab shaft is being obtained and hopefully should be fitted in the next month or so
