The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust have released their January 2021 update on building British Railways Standard Class 3 Tank No.82045.
Unfortunately, the current National Lockdown prevents volunteers from carrying out work at the Severn Valley Railway (SVR).
On a positive note, contractors have been able to continue, and are making good progress on a number of components, which can be found below.
- Bridgnorth, SVR – Marking out and drilling rivet holes on the firebox's throatplate.
- Stephenson Engineering – Progressing on reversing shaft.
- Philip Oldfield Engineering – Manufacturing pins and linkage for regulator valves
- Mallens – Rocking grate mechanism brackets are now machined.
- Vacuum ejectors have also been machined.
The Trust's Annual General Meeting (AGM) originally planned for April 2021 has been postponed to a later date, which will be confirmed when appropriate.
For more information or to support The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust in building the 46th member of the British Railways Standard Class 3 Tank Class, please visit The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust website.
