Work is progressing on 1561S. All the boiler fittings and associated pipework are being overhauled or replaced. The Coal Bunker has been removed for repairs to the bottom plate and side wall. The Frame exposed is being de-scaled and painted. Updates to follow. Pete P. |

Thanks for the update, Pete. 1561S needs a lot more work than I'd envisaged, but I don't think it could be in better hands than with Swanage, and I'm sure it will be an outstanding and very useful machine when the overhaul reaches completion! |

Coal bunker repaired, painted and refitted. Cab floors all being needle gunned and painted. I am fitting a cladding sheet to the top of the boiler and have made a chimney cover to keep the weather out. I hope to raise steam next week.

Very nice paint job on the bunker side! I can't wait to see the finished crane painted to that standard! |

A successful 3 days in steam. The first time since withdrawal that the crane has been fully working. Not insured for lifting yet, one or two things to sort out first. Pictures to follow. |
