| Michael making a start removing one of the die blocks from inside the expansion link |
 |
| Both successfully removed |
 |
| The die blocks sit inside the expansion links and are connected to the valve spindle. When the link is raised or lowered (putting the loco in forward or reverse) the movement of the eccentric is transferred to the valve. This is achieved by bringing either the fore gear eccentric rod or back gear eccentric rod (again, either forward or reverse) into line with the spindle rod |
