All six roller bearings were opened up, cleaned, inspected and regreased, and then the whole wheelset repainted. Re-wheeling took place in August 1999. The fuel tanks (four in total) have been steam cleaned, repainted, refitted to the loco and checked for leaks. The transmission heatexhanger has been stripped down, all the tubes have been cleaned. The rebuilt unit, having undertaken a water test and a repaint, was then refitted. The engine oil priming pump has been stipped, cleaned, anti-tracked, tested and refitted. [ next >>> ] |
