Jobs on 401

Some minor jobs carried out on 401 today...this photo shows the taper plug valve from the water tanks balance pipe in desperate need of a clean up

The tapered plug was cleaned up on the wire wheel before being lapped in with polish and loosely rebuilt in the balance pipe

Boiler fittings faces were also wire brushed today to get rid of rust and any remaining graphite...this one being the LHS backhead injector

Manifold

Gauge frame

After being cleaned up with a wire brush they were dusted off and given a thin protective coating of steam oil

Same on the others...the washout plug holes have also had the same treatment by running a tap through them to clean up the threads
