    Yes I am an active volunteer
    I'd suggest that 6223 is at Crewe North shed rather than the Works. I don't know when it began but all the Pacifics were eventually sent to Crewe North for Piston and Valve Exams (P&V) and it's one of these happening here.

    Getting at those inside cylinders looks like fun!
