Work on the coal hoppers

Work has been progressing on the two coal hopper wagons that arrived at the railway back in March. Here, John is underneath working on the brake rigging which has all been renewed/restored to working order. Both wagons have also been thoroughly steam cleaned underneath

This photo shows deterioration on a section of the running plate which will be cut out and replaced with new metal

Restored cross-shaft

Progress on the other coal wagon is much the same, just not as far. All the brake rigging is currently off for work, along with needing a new brake hangar. This photo shows deterioration on one of the support brackets which will be replaced
