Tank goodness for that…
This will be an unusually short post for me, but it is an important update. After one abortive attempt (with the volunteers of Prestongrange Railway Society present, and pics on Flickr) the volunteers of SRPS have removed the cab and tank (hence the appalling pun) from locomotive number 6 and she is now ready for inspection. There are some photos on the SRPS steam section website up to the time of removal, with more to be added. Unforunately I wasn’t there to see the big reveal, as my contact details had gone astray, however, it is very satisfying to know that we are almost done. Thank you to the volunteers of the SRPS steam section. A more meaty post will follow, but perhaps not for a while as there are lots of other things going on, and I need to tie up the admin of the project to this stage.
