Friday & Saturday, 14th & 15th February 2014 - Tyseley Locomotive Works

 

                                                             IN THE WORKS

 

On the final weekend at Tyseley, members of the working party continue fitting the multitude of pipes, fittings and plating to the cab

                               In her new unlined black livery, 7820 is prepared to leave Tyseley
                                                                  for her new home

 

Final fitting out and steam testing will take place on the G-W

railway after which final lagging of steam pipes and covers

will be undertaken 

 

 

Smoke box door fitted, cab windows being installed - nearly ready to depart

 

                    Some of the working party members, without whose tireless efforts
                     weekend after weekend 7820 would not have reached this point in her
                    overhaul, gather in front of the engine with smiles all round.
                   Thanks also go to the staff of Tyseley Locomotive Works whose
                   friendship over the past months will be sorely missed.
