Mechanical and electrical progress March 2008

 

 
 Dave Rolfe is seen with one of the removed cylinder heads on the hoist, the four valves are clearly seen in the base of the cylinder head. The electric hoist has proved essential in the handling of the cylinder heads which are two heavy to be easily moved around manually.
Ian and Pete are seen in the process of decoking one of the cylinder heads and its valves.
The replacement DSD relay box has been overhauled and is seen fitted in the clean-air room, but is yet to be wired in.
A closer view of the content of the overhauled DSD relay box.

The main Fuse / MCB panel.

The red fuse carriers are for the two exhauster and the battery charge circuit. The blue Lawson fuses are for the blower motors & compressors, then there is the fuse test contacts & lamp. Underneath are control, cab heat & auxiliary MCB's, with the lighting timer fuse & motor cut-out switch.
