Evening All
With work on D335 now underway I wish to organize a working day on Saturday 25th October concentrating on progressing tasks forwards.
The loco will be at Castlecroft shed as we will need use of the 10 ton crane to remove boiler room roof section and lift out the steam generator onto a trolley.
Once steam generator has been removed we will need to steam clean the engine room and boiler area for painting.
The boiler will need to filled with an antifreeze solution to prevent frost damage and corrosion.
Also on the same day 345 will be inspected for its annual Network Rail safety examination at Buckley Wells shed.
If you can help and wish to get involved with our engineering team to get D335 fighting fit again please email me on engineering@cfps.co.uk.
Even if you can only drive a scraper and paint brush your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Lee
This blog is to keep all people that are interested in the engineering activities within the Class 40 Preservation Society who look after and maintain our two locomotives D335 (40135) and 345 (40145) for current and future generations to enjoy. Both our locomotives are proudly based at the East Lancashire Railway in Bury, Lancashire. The Society has just spent a great deal of money getting 40145 (345) back into working order. We still need YOUR help!!
