As well as the wheel re-profiling the side thrust bearing needed replacement as they were very worn.The old thrust plates were removed during an earlier working party and a crank-pin is seen here with its new thrust plate having been fitted by the staff at Boston Lodge.

As well as the crank-pins the wheel axles also needed their side thrust plates renewed. This one has been fitted but as yet needs machining to finish it off.
