Shunt of Ashington No.5 and Consett No.10 test running

Today, volunteers have taken the opportunity to shunt the Peckett over the two 'mini' pits in the running shed to enable completion of the brake rigging and fitting of the sand pipes.


Previously, Aaran and Robert have been completing work of putting ancillary items back in the cab and on the frames; namely the injector bodies and feed pipes, as well as backhead components such as the gauge glasses.

As well as the many shunting manoeuvres carried out, Consett No.10 was fired up to test the work which Alan and Steve have completed on the engine and loco batteries. In the above picture, No.10 is sat on the crossover having been driven up and down the yard.
