114 latest

Below: Newcastle 114, now complete with advertising boards, was today sat over the pit for further exploration of the mysterious noise that had developed. This has now been identified as a loose pinion on one of the motor shafts, the same one that had received attention earlier in the project. This is being attended to so hopefully the tram will be back in service this week. The warm bearing matter seems to have been successfully resolved so all we need now is some good weather for the visitors to enjoy 114 at its best!
