    I'm led to believe the frames of 35005 are to be lifted on 29th June so the driving wheels can be removed.

    To be fair it's quite hard. You have to take a bolt off, have a cup of tea, then a biscuit and sometimes even a chin wag then we take the next one off ;-)

    In fairness to the guys working on her, they could only take things so far, so as not to jeopardise the lottery bid - hence Simon's marathon tea drinking, biscuit munching, chin wagging sessions......... :rolleyes:

    Just wait for the new Dave to start - he'll soon have em working! :)

    If money was no object we could have CanPac in steam this summer/autumn if we started when we did and went full pelt at it. That being said because of the lottery grant this project is much more than just restoring a locomotive but is now part of a grander scheme of inspiring young people into the heritage scene and hopefully passing down some skills/experince before they are lost to time. Plus we also had to wait for Wadebridge to finish her ticket otherwise we could have a locomotive that is ready but a tender that isnt.

    Picture says a thousand words, as someone mentioned recently we had our lift on Monday. Things are progressingly nicely and her wheels are currently on holiday in South Devon. An offical update will soon be on the MHR website, our new project manager started this week and is organising things.

    Is there a plan to give them a tender each eventually or will they keep sharing?

    The Wadebridge team are building there own. They are only using CanPacs because she is out of service and it saved them hiring one

    An original highsided tender, tank design, so does that mean maybe next time early BR, or Southern " sunshine"livery with either 34007 , or 21C107 :)

    Dunno when you took the pics on the wheels - but IIRC the wheels for 34007's tender are donated from a box........... so most likely eo belong to Swanage & tender frames are more advanced than that!

    Those are Wadebridges wheels. The class 33s wheel set was the original plan but they scrapped it and got some new wheels cast I believe at the South Devon.
