Following recent discussions with William Cook Cast Products, proof machining of the new wheels has required further engineering drawings: after some resource problems this has now been completed and we are in active contact with the supplier this week to progress completion.Salvage of the usable components from the original wheelsets (balance weights and crank pins) has now been completed at West Shed. The long-awaited replacement driving wheel axle has now been shipped from South Africa and is en route to the UK.
