Bodywork repairs on 03079 are progressing well, with multiple sections being cut out for replacement. This photo shows a section of the main body towards the cab that has been cut out |
Michael W begins welding in the new plate |
After the welds had been ground back, body filler is applied then sanded down |
Michael D welding a support beam in the LHS cab, underneath the cab door, as shown below |

Meanwhile, Steve has been busy cutting out more sections at the front of the loco |
Large section successfully cut out, followed by a smaller section just above it (shown below after being cut out) |
Same on the LHS |
This is the same bit as above after it had been cleaned up of rust and treated with jenolite |
Additionally, Carl has applied the first coat of yellow to the back of the cab |
