More work on 401

John and George splitting another axlebox

Joe starts sanding down the brake rigging from 401

All 3 with one side sanded down and ready for primer

Applying primer

Followed by gloss black

Whilst 401 is in pieces the opportunity was taken to inspect the locomotive's mechanical lubricator and give it a deep clean

The lubricator was drained and given a deep clean with paraffin to remove the build-up of debris within the sump, the individual pumps are proven and flushed through with paraffin. Once the lubricator has been returned to the engine, each oil line will need to be primed with oil
