The traditional three-quarter view. I have a liking for this locomotive, it has a powerful look about it, even at rest in a museum. The central cab / footplate seems huge, as I am more used to narrow gauge rolling stock. Taken before the headstocks were replaced.

To produce a buffer beam that will remain stable under the conditions inside the main building at Locomotion, we laminated sections of a stable hardwood. Here the blanks are clamped whilst the glue hardens.

Setting up to drill some of the holes used to bolt this to the locomotive. You do not want to see the length of the bit required to go the other way!

You did want them in aluminum? (Actually a metallised primer) This is the rear view of the B end headstock, there are some clearance sections as well as the bolt holes.

The front view of the original B-end. Some of the splits joined up to release a section. (the rods are improvised handles ... old and dried out they may be, but they still weighed a lot!)
