Cameron has been busy over the past few weeks removing numerous countersunk bolts from the front buffer beam of NCB No.69 with the eventual plan to straighten the front buffer beam whilst the pistons and valves are removed for inspection.
Bolts numbered to associated holes.
The mag drill set up to drill out the countersunk bolts, there are 6 in total that require drilling and punching out.
After successfully drilling and punching, the first bolt is removed.
With more hands to help and the use of the forklift, the front buffer beam was manoeuvred from the frames to the ground.
Looking towards the rear of the locomotive, the frame faces and pistons can be seen after the removal of the front buffer beam.
