First job of the weekend was the removal of the wheels from under the tender bogies ready for re-profiling.

And the results of the afternoons work: the two sets of cylinder cladding cut out but still needing their edges tidying up.

The cladding alongside the cylinder to which it'll be fitted after checking the finer detail of the fit.

On the Sunday the edges were tidied up and trimmed to the correct size.

The following day both pony trucks were turned and had their paint touched up on the areas we couldn't reach whilst the other way round.

The Krauss-Helmholtz ball joint reassembled and pressed into its casing. This will fit into the square opening seen in the previous K-H pony truck pictures.

Another job on the Sunday was starting to paint the axle box covers.
