Alan Milburn is tearing into the second waggon and tonight’s task is to pick some wheelsets from the wheelset shop! Some are OK, others are good and some are very poor. There are also a mix of inside and outside journals (the surface that runs in the bearing). Alan is also completing a barrier waggon for us, to enable RCH buffered stock/locomotives to safely run with the dumb buffered chaldrons, and also because a flat waggon would be very useful!

Below: A sea of wheelsets!

Below: Inside the works, the ribs are now fitted to the second waggon, L1833. As much of this had been prepared earlier (alongside L1219), the work is proceeding very quickly.
