Early July Progress

The CSPL HGO team is working almost every day to progress work on the Loco and Tender.

Test fitting the hydrostatic lubricator to the back head. Various pipes need to be adjusted and fitted within the cab and the pipes that run the length of the boiler to steam feed pipes in the smoke box



Once the test fitting was competed the hydrostatic lubricator was removed, this will now be dismantled and thoroughly checked and tested.

All the back head cladding was then removed, insulation placed between it and the boiler, and all then put back in place.



The Smoke box door has been needle gunned to remove any old paint and rust, this was then primed to be painted at a later date

The various connecting pipes have been put in place between the tender and the main loco frames
