Day 9 -- The re-painting continues
|
|
|
The tops of the side takes have been polished and a lacquer applied. |
|
A new refurbished brazing hearth was prepared to day particularly to de-solder a fitting on a crushed pipe and refit. |
|
The trunk of the boiler with the lagging of cork reapplied. |
 |
Lagging also applied around the furnace part of the boiler. |
|
The outer lagging applied. The masking tape pulled off the white paint ... May be that was because the correct primer was not used !! |
 |
The axel pump was taken off and checked over. All 100% except for the eccentric which was a little slack so the gap was reduced as tad and now is a nice fit. |
 |
So here she is nearly ready for a steam test !!!! BUT what you cannot see is the all the pipe work is not connected and attention to the regulator has not yet been done. |
 |
An alternative view .... |
