Work on 69

Last week before NCB 69 was shunted into the workshop, Michael and Steve made the most of the nice weather and took measurements of the locomotives tyres to see if they can be turned

An original BR tyre gauge is used to measure the tyre flanges height and thickness

After the big gala tidy up/shunt, NCB 69s chassis was shunted into the carriage & wagon workshop to begin preparation for jacking the frames up in order to get the wheelsets out. In this photo, Dai (L) and Cameron (R) are palletising the loco's firebars

Cole working on removing the front vacuum pipe holder. Hopefully lots more progress to follow soon
