A rather intense week at Steeple Grange, here's what has been happening.
An early start was made Thursday as the arrival of 20 tons of aggregate was being delivered by Slinter Mining Ltd ready for our major events later in the summer, this would be laid allowing us more space to site gazebos out of the front of the Engine Shed. Our dedicated painter was also hard at work on Peggy completing the last of the black glossing on the cab. Later in the afternoon a quick shunt allowed for Manrider 103 to be brought to Steeplehouse for an examination, this revealed a need to rectify a suspension issue.
Today Manrider 103 was immediately brought to Steeplehouse and jacked up, axle rolled out allowed for the suspension issue to be rectified and test runs ran accordingly, the carriage passed off and ready for traffic for the summer season. Peggy was also pulled out of the Engine Shed and viewed for the first time since it went in for re-paint, now half way through the loco still has another 2 weeks of painting before complete.
