Engineering notes

By Tony Massau.

The dome and boiler barrel have been receiving some fettling to the interface to ensure a good fit before any riveting takes place.

More brackets have been made in relation to the water tanks steadying arrangement.

Work is in progress on the arm supports for the crew on the side windows of the cab.

The sand discharge pipes for the front wheels are now fitted but the steam supply pipes to the sand ejectors are yet to be made and fitted.
