Coffee Pot on the move!
17th September 2009
Firstly two views of the living van restoration underway in the museum’s own workshops and being undertaken by Shaun, who we have met in these pages before when he built a new underframe for the water cart.
Below: However, the main job was moving, in two loads, Coffee Pot (No.1) to Vincent Allen’s workshops for completion of its restoration. Seen here is the smokebox ring being HIAB’d onto the lorry in company with the new boiler.
Below: The engine and a large set of restored components installed in Vincent’s works. I won’t talk timescales to complete the work, but it is likely to proceed apace to enable testing this winter…!!!
