Two overhauled exhausters at Bowers. One of these exhausters was purchased from Booths from a scrap 37, the other from Unipart Rail. Both are now finished, the ex-Booths machine had an oil leak which has been repaired, and the Unipart one has been tested and some work undertaken to bring it up to "overhauled standard" after its lengthy period in store.
