Axlebox Removal

Axlebox removed from the front wheelset of 401, the bearings will require a full clean with paraffin to remove any debris and old grease

Roller bearing exposed for cleaning and inspection, it is essential for these bearings to be kept as clean as possible, which on a steam engine is rather difficult

All axleboxes now stored ready for cleaning and then painting, after initial inspection of the bearings all appears to be satisfactory
