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.

TENDER WORKING PARTY
Work has continued on machining the large quantity
of bushes required for the brake rigging. Work was
undertaken on the journals of the brake weighbar
shaft to remove the heavily pitted sleeves which can
be seen after removal. New sleeves will now be
machined and heat shrunk onto the journals and the
support bearing will be machined to suit.
