New Lathe


With machining work increasing in the workshop, two NTSRA members have purchased a second lathe, a Colchester Triumph 2000 - identical to the one already used by workshop volunteers (only with a shorter bed).


Loaded up and ready to be transported to the museum.


Michael and James using the overhead gantry crane to hoist the 1 tonne lathe off the flatbed truck.


Jack helps to remove surface rust and grime from the bedways.


Sat in its temporary position, volunteers will work to get the lathe operational.
