Bolting of Ashington No.5's tank to the frames

Now that the hard work of lifting, manoeuvring, and then lowering the Ashington No.5's tank back onto the locomotive is complete. Aaran and Robert have spent the afternoon securing the tank on it's support brackets with new bolts and nuts.


The new bolts and nuts fastened tight to the front of the tank on the Fireman's side of the engine.

Before finishing for the evening, a final bit of shunting was required to move the wagon in which the tank was sat upon back out into Middle Engine Lane yard.
