Down to the Chassis
The cab, stripped
and removed, ready
for shotblasting
Front leaf springs
removed from
hangers
The original Rolls
Royce C6NFL
engine
Back inside the
shop, the almost
bare chassis
The gearbox
assembly, still to be
removed
Welding on the front
of RS8 where the
chassis was
extended for the
diesel engine
One of the front
buffers….
… and the buffer
spring.
Outside the
shotblasting begins
… the cab is
stripped to bare
metal
The cab is painted
in primer…
… and lifted aboard
the wagon bound for
Tunstead.
At Tunstead
Workshops the
replacement
engine…
… and other parts
begin to accumulate
ready for
reassembly
