Lewin latest – w/c 14th Feb 2011

15th February 2011
Here are the latest components for Lewin, made from patters by David Young and subsequently machined and finished by him. The four oil pots will provide for various lubrication needs on the engine and are based on a NER design, as what was originally fitted is not known and has not survived. It was felt that replicating something of the Gateshead style was an acceptable alternative. The pots locate to the rear of the four stanchions which support the saddle tank and will be finished in black. Dave also made all of the fittings in his own workshop, and not to be left waiting for more work, is making the sandboxes and handrail stanchions for the engine!
