A very significant day in the construction of 82045 as the frames arrive at Bridgnorth following drilling at the Boro' Foundry.
The Express & Star reports.
The frames safely in place at Bridgnorth.

Loading up at the Boro' Foundry...
...the frames arrive at Bridgnorth...
...and unloading begins...
...the first frame is swung round and positioned into the specially built "Toast Rack" stands...
...followed by the second...
...and for the first time 82045 begins to look like a locomotive!
Chris and Tony pose for the press...
..then at the end of the day the frames are oiled and wrapped up.
