The recent better weather conditions (OK, forget today!) have enabled good progress to be made outside the shed on the refurbishment of Great Western Railway 0-6-2T No. 5643’s bunker, which John Dixon has been persevering with, seen here removing rust.
Jon and Sim have been busy applying green undercoat to the cab roof.
Meanwhile, inside the shed, the final piece of riveting to 5643’s frames has been completed with Chris Rycroft’s help, the re-assembled radial truck moved under the frames and the chassis partly lowered. 
Ed has been taking his turn grinding off stay heads on 5643’s firebox in preparation for the stays to be replaced.
Finally, Furness Railway 0-4-0 locomotive No. 20 is expected to be transported back to Preston from Bury tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon after which a test steaming is anticipated to confirm various items of work to be undertaken during the winter period.
