114 latest

20th April 2011
More sunshine! So here are two views of Manchester 765 in the town street working on the outer circle (clockwise) duty.
Below: Phil Anderson is finishing off the Greek Keys lining on 114, creating the complicated interlacing that makes these so distinctive.

Below: Phil ever the perfectionist, has rubbed down the dashes to try and obtain an even better finish on these surfaces. I for one can’t wait to see the finished result!

The second motor for 114 arrived yesterday, but unfortunately was found to be very tight in its bearings so has been returned to the contractor for adjustment. This makes our hunger to see 114 in the sunlight all the stronger! It will be worth the wait…!!!
