Sunday 13th November 2011 Remembrance Day and Remus on test (chassis)

Remembrance Day in the Park to the left we see the first of the groups along friends and the public. arriving for the event. To the right the steam locomotive chassis of Remus under test using air. The compressor is on the coach along with David. This is the very first time be without boiler, cab and of course steam that the locomotive has hauled any rolling stock. 

In the morning laying a wreath at the War Memorial in the park, a change of clothes its time to tackle the huge amount of weeds and grass that has encroached onto the tracks. Some progress as you see to the right but only a scratch on the surface of the task ahead.

Meanwhile the new engineering team are busy getting the chassis of the steam locomotive ready for testing using air. David has added movie to YouTube click here to see the videos.

Pushing the set around to the station in readiness to connect the air compressor. Another first is the removal of the centre seats on the coach Margaret. Testing the whistle with air, yes it works!  David has added movie clips  to YouTube click here to see the videos.
