Day two
|
|
|
To lift off the boiler a hoist was
used that had been built be me some 6 years ago !!!
This meant that there was no struggle to get the boiler off the loco and will make putting it back easier too.
|
|
The chassis before the clean up began |
|
Rather a lot of coal dirt and shows that I did not properly clean down the loco when I last used it !!! |
|
same comment as above |
|
The boiler is removed and ready to move forward into the disassembly position. |
|
This shows the right hand side an the considerable amount of grime !!! |
|
This is the right hand steam chest opened up and it was found that the slide valve was jammed and needs to be completely cleaned up and a new shaft provided as there is no hydraulic lock up released at the front end. |
|
The chassis in much cleaner condition. |
