Work on rebushing and resleeving the motionwork on the Bundaberg Fowler,
Pleystowe No.5 was completed at Woodford on Thursday, 27th July. The loco
was steamed and test run a number of times up and down the track. Everthing
ran perfectly the workshop staff having done an excellent job. The paintwork
is also virtually complete with only a bit of touch-up lining out to be
done.
The cab has been fitted out with a shelf for a 2-way radio unit and the
necessary wiring. A back-up battery has also been fitted, in case of
interference from the turbogenerator.
With just on a week to go before the loco leaves on its northern safari
there is still a lot of logistical work to organise.
