Recent work on Ashington No.5

A small update on the recent work undertaken on Ashington No.5

Measurements have been getting taken on pins and holes on various bits of the locos brake rigging/gear to see if anything is drastically 'out of round' and require work

Norman has been working on painting the wheelsets, in this photo he is sanding down the centre RHS wheel

Undercoating the leading LHS wheel

Followed by top coat

George is continuing to work on the locos slidebars on the mill, with the second one off the LHS (the one pictured above) now complete

Meanwhile, Alan has continued work on the horn guides in the shaper


George removing a nut and bolt from the RHS slidebar bracket in order to remove, clean and label the shims

More progress to follow soon
