7820 Dinmore Manor - The Blog

This blog will follow the heavy overhaul of 7820 through to its return to steam. The chassis is being overhauled at Tyseley Locomotive Works whilst the boiler is being overhauled at Ian Riley's workshops.
We are working hard every weekend to bring together the hundreds of small pieces that require refurbishing to get the loco back into working order. Follow us to keep up todate with the weekly progress and who knows if you like the look of what you see you may even be tempted to join us and help put 7820 back in action.

Saturday 7th June 2014 - Midlands site


                                                        TENDER WORKING PARTY

 
    With the recent humid weather and rain, some much
needed gardening was undertaken to clear the prolific vegetation


                              Another casualty of the damp conditions was the gas cylinder trolley
                             where the base framework had corroded through - some TLC and
                                                   welding will soon restore it to service

 
    In amongst the gardening and equipment repairs, work continued
   on the tender brake gear as the adjusting screws were cleaned
 and dismantled for inspection
