L&B Big update NovDec |
 |
|||||
| A dry Sunday
morning, Not as good as yesterday warn sunny day. Early this week
Mark emailed me to say.
Today a milestone has been reached on the L&B project with the
chassis turning over on air for the first time! Some minor
adjustments are required and a lot of running into loosen it all up.
A proud moment for all who are working on the loco, congratulations.
Today the lads had the
chassis out and toed it around the track to free it up, which looked
like it worked well. Bob, John & Phil all had there engines in steam
today as well. The lads were still laying slabs with a new helper
today. The fencing gang had found out it a bigger job than we let
on.
I re did the air test video today and a link below to YouTube Thanks Mark for the few you sent over |
