    I think @Flying Phil was probably referring to the Ffestiniog moving pictures video showing the machining of the components taking place at Boston Lodge

    There are pictures of the new hornblocks being machined for both locomotives in the latest L & B Railway magazine, so steady progress is being maintained. They are building up a store of long lead items so the build can proceed quickly when that time comes.
