Staying with the buffer theme. Some younger volunteers have been lending a hand with some of the restoration tasks, including removing rust and debris from the removed buffer housings, as well as removing nuts and bolts from the front buffer beam. Meanwhile, work is still focused on the rear of the locomotive with the frames continuing to be primed ready for the fitting of the cab floor.
