Sentinel 9559 Engine Re-build

Steve, Alan, Gordon, Robert and Aaran have been spending the past few months stripping, inspecting and re-building components of the steam engine of Sentinel 9559.

These works have included a full strip and inspection of all moving components of the pistons, cylinders, crosshead guides and piston rods, all completed by a small group of volunteers over the past few months.
