May Progress

Nunney has been moved from her tent to the main engine shed in Tyseley to exchange the remaining two wheel sets for some from Maindy Hall whilst work on replacing 5029's tyres continues.

Many thanks to our friends from the Great Western Society for allowing us to use the wheels, which will enable Nunney to be moved back into the tent after removal of the wheels so that we can carry on with the repaint and other cleaning. I know that the loading of the wheels at Didcot was accompanied by an awful turn in the weather! Thanks to Roger Orchard for his perseverance in adverse conditions!

With our larger wheels removed, we will be able to clean the frames thoroughly and continue the scrupulous examination of the bearings and other components. All of which, so far, have been in an excellent condition.

The tyres are set to arrive as planned and we hope to be able to let you know the date of Nunney becoming a 4-6-0 again soon!
