401 cab and tank removal

401 came to bits once again this morning for maintenance purposes. Here the cab is being lifted off

After the chimney is off the tank is made ready to go

Tank being lifted

One of the reasons for the tank lift is to sort out some broken crinoline that has come away from the boiler, causing the boiler cladding to stick out as shown in this photo. This popped out on the last day of Santa Specials so thankfully it didn't have to run like this too long

Cladding and lagging off. The tank has been secured on the flat wagon, shown on the right

Pressure washer out to clean the cladding and boiler of any remaining lagging
