More Ivatt Progress

 

A new year and our workshop team, who have been working with our ELR workshop colleagues on removing the flue tubes on 80097, are back working on our Ivatt restoration.

 

An assembly frame has been built for the new cab to be built on from the pre cut steel sheets that we received last year.

 

The old drag box has now been lifted out of the Ivatt frame and will be used as a template for the assembly of a new drag box.

 

Anyone want a new year challenge ? - come and join us, there's plenty to do.

 

You can contact us at the Shop, which is open every Saturday from 1100 to 1600  or by email at:  Shop@burystandard4group.org.uk
