401 progress

401 shunted outside to have the water tank lifted back on

After the tank was back on the loco was shunted back inside the workshop, the cab was brought through and rigged up. Here, Michael and Richard begin lifting up the cab

The cab is lifted up and the loco shunted back under it

A bit later on, various valves and fittings were fitted including the steam brake and regulator, here the main manifold has just been re-fitted and Richard sets away connecting pipe work

Up top, Steve re-fits the whistle and safety valves

Current state of 401, chimney is due to be fitted tomorrow and hopefully we'll get the fire lit
