Work on ACC5

Work has carried on with further dismantling, cleaning and sorting the axleboxes that have been removed from Ashington No.5, volunteers are in the process of measuring up to work out how much new material is required to replace the axlebox brasses so an order can be placed in the next couple weeks

A few posts ago showed our volunteer machinist George turning a new bush, these have now been pressed into the coupling rods knuckle joint

Dismantling the oiler for cleaning and inspection

Some of the other oilers that have had the same treatment, these are fitted to the inner frames with the rubber oil lines fitted to the top of the axlebox, feeding oil from the mechanical lubricator
