This (below) is the No. 1 end cab / nose bulkhead, part-way through the painting process.  Seen before but worthy of note is the new style (actually old style) Secondman's side instrument panel.

These (below) are the newly manufactured engine and generator mountings. The end closest is for the engine and further away, for the generator. They are exactly similar to the OE installation for Type 2 Deltics, albeit at a slightly greater height above the longitudinals - because of the difference in frame height between Class 23 and 37. Note the laser line for lateral alignment, the template on the engine mountings with a centre-finder for alignment and the nice triangle which is laser cut into the brace for the generator mounting.
