    One of the jobs that has taken a lot of time and effort has been the front tender brakeshaft. This is similar to the rear one seen in post #351. The brass bearings were worn and so new ones would need to be made, this highlighted that the shaft...

    Quite amazed no one on here has posted about the Extreme Steam event. Just got back from 3 superb days riding both railways. Spent Friday getting some Kalahari mileage in, then in the evening enjoyed a round trip to Caernarfon behind a Fairlie,...
