Ashington No.5 overhaul progress

It's been a while since we have posted an update on Ashington No.5s overhaul progress! Over the months we have accumulated lots of photos of work taking place on the locomotive, however most of these have unfortunately got lost in the aether...

Nevertheless here are some recent photos and a small update on some of the machining work which continues to take place on components for Ashington No.5

Meanwhile, Alan machines a new pin for said brake rigging

With most of the axleboxes now re-fitted, Alan has made a start on tapping the holes to take the new oil pipe fittings


The next few photos show Alan soldering the axlebox oil pipe joints
