    Hi all

    Just to let you know that we have started up 205205 at Ongar following a service and new set of Batteries. [​IMG]
    If you pop onto http://www.youtube.com/user/EORtv1 you can have a look (and listen).

    The next items on the list are roof repairs and bodywork followed by internal deep clean and repairs to the
    seating. Repaint to BR Blue and of course renumbering to 1111.

    If any of you guys and girls are interested in assisting us please pop onto http://www.eorailway.co.uk/ to
    find out more about us or come on over and help us in getting this railway re-opened this year.

    Have you managed to repair or replace the broken cooling fan clutch? That was one of the reasons it never got very far on the NYMR.

    I think the slipped tyres due to movement (not on the NYMR) with the hand-brake on was rather more important as a reason it never ran! Spare bogies were, I believe, included in the sale, so have these been fitted yet?

    I did hear that it also had a few water leaks?

    The fan clutch is being re-manufactured and should be back with us as soon as it has been tested on another thumper,
    as to the water leaks only one hose required replacement so that is now ok, the reported tyre slip has been examned and appears to be minimal and should be ok, the unit was sold with spare bogies so worst case scenario can be dealt with. I will keep you all informed as to the progress in restoring this unit.
