In the Motive Power Department work continued on Hibberd 4008, first removing the fuel pump for transport to Key Diesels at Burton Upon Trent for refurbishment, then it was hauled outside and onto the traverser for the brake rigging to be marked up ready for altering, finally ending up fitting a fuel filter to the newly installed tank and then a general tidy up of parts.
In the Rolling Stock Department Manrider 102 receives remedial work removing and replacing corroded tubing sections before its cosmetic restoration starts. Another piece of stock that was shunted out today is the MetroBug in order for its modification to start.
The Permanent Way Team tackled the line into the container at the back of the Engine Shed, moving the track across in order to allow some of our wider items of rolling stock and locomotives to be stored in there.
To continue with another week of progress at Steeple Grange.
