More great progress on the HGO!
The team have been creating kit to pressure test the steam deliver pipes in the smoke box. These connect from the Superheater Head and then to the outside steam feed pipes. These all need to be hydraulically tested before the final fitting.
Fitting of the new smoke box to the boiler is progress well
More cladding is being prepped in readiness for a major step forward when the boiler has insulation fitted and the cladding put of the top!! We are about two thirds through this prep.
Next few pictures are of the loco on shed at the GWSR with 3850 of the Dinmore Group in front of our 2800 waiting for its Boiler return.
The Back Head is taking shape!! Yes someone is in the firebox!!! They are drilling holes for the ash pan sprinkler systems, they got missed before the ash pan was attached to the bottom of the firebox.
While this person is in the firebox another from the team remains on the footplate to keep watch and check on them.......
