Tuesday ...... i think ?

Well here we are again

I wasn't planning on doing much on here for a few days, too much else to do and all that, but i got a few nice shiny pictures in the e-mail today of some more pug related stuff.

now pistons with new rings, Manufactured by Mr F and what a stunning job he has made

Also a sneaky shot of the frames thrown in there to show how the frames are getting on,  I have been told that the front axle has been put back together and will be installed tomorow, as well as a few other "missing" bits 

As for me, ive been working hard on boiler bits, the new steam T is complete, with the new valves, needs some work to fit it all, and get it all set up.  also there is 2 boiler test plugs in 2 of steam feeds so they will be replaced with some nicer ones to send steam to the pressure gauge and whistle valve, they are just thrown in for aesthetics.

Next on the agenda is gauge glass, which i shall start to tackle sometime soon!

In other news

The old man had seen the Burrell.... This lead him to the idea.. "well as your all tooled up for it you may as well do the Fowler at the same time.. so here is a few before and after pictures of the smokebox door being sand blasted and prepped for a new coat of paint

Masked up and ready 

After some high pressure sand!

Well thats all for now, tomorow ill try and dig out the smokebox and line it up next to the Burrell's smokebox for a size comparison
