Barclay 2261 continues to make progress

Boiler work continues on Barclay 2261

The new tubeplate is in place, together with replacement longitudinal stays - and currently, the tubes are in the process of being expanded.

It is hoped that the boiler will be filled with water in the next few weeks to begin hydraulic testing, in readiness for later steam testing & then full reassembly of the loco.

It's hoped that No.6 will be completed in time to take part in the 2009 Steam Gala Event.
