Tank lift prep

The Michael's begin to jack up the front of 401s tank

Meanwhile Steve and George dismantle the firehole door mechanism and platework...

...and mark it up then lay it out on the carriage shop floor

Jacking the back of the tank

Michael D begins to secure a lifting bracket

Lifting bracket fixed on the front end and the tank lowered back down onto packing

Fixing the rear brackets

The tank is now lifted about 3 to 4 inches, packed and fitted with lifting brackets ready for the crane which is pencilled in for Friday (weather depending)
