No progress to report for this update because the loco is outside now for a couple of weeks while the Barrow Hill Beer Festival is taking place.
It provides a decent opportunity for a photo of the complete loco from a variety of different angles and here is one of the best.
Work will restart in late May and this will focus on getting this end finished - buffer cowls / skirts on, nose end doors finished, etc.
A nice photo of both of the newly fabricated and installed tanks complete with all the bosses for the dummy fuel / water tank contents gauges, fuel pick-up and return.
