Lewin – on the home straight now…
Below: Injectors and associated sandbox and water valve have been completed and now await the fitting of the pipework, which will be installed next week. The rods pass through tubes in the bunkers, to protect them from coal being tipped into the bunkers when in use. Note also the grey painted balance pipe to the left of the sandbox and passing underneath the boiler.
Below: An overall view showing latest progress – there are differences since the last similar image… It is planned to bring the loco back to Beamish in coming weeks, where it will be enclosed in a tent and then the painting, lining and varnishing will be completed.
