WANTED!

The missing rear radial truck tyre has now turned up at the SDR and the complete wheelset should be back at Llangollen later this week.

So come on boys and girls, 5199 needs our help over the next few weekends.

Feb16th-17th, & 23rd-24th, with the possibility of other dates too.

We have to refit:

  • All the Brake rodding.

    • Eccentric rods and straps.

    • Coupling rods and con rods.

    • A repaired boiler band.

    • Put back front footplate.

    • Lots of painting and cleaning.

Piston and valve exam has revelaed more work needs to be done by the fulltime staff as well as the firebox repairs, these are being attended tat the moment. As we all know work done by Llangollen engineering costs money and eats into our next overhaul budget, So it is up to us to do what we can do to keep the costs down.

Please
contact me if you can help.

I will make myself available BOTH weekends.

Regards Will
