Work K160 has resumed in the New Year. Our volunteers are into it with renewed enthusiasm. Our fitter has been back on deck since 16 January. The boiler was inspected on 9 December 2022 in readiness for a full test as planned in the New Year. We received the inspector’s report in early January and are attending to some issues that need to be addressed in readiness for the test. This includes replacing some tubes around the blast pipe area and this is proceeding. With this blog you will see work done by our volunteers and our fitter since he has been back. We are starting to turn our mind to the tender which is in the open air at Newport and our plans are to bring it inside for work to be done once the boiler is back on the frame and space is freed up in the area we use. As always with this blog if you want to volunteer either for weekdays or on weekends contact John Hoy (0419 372 696) or Stuart Phemister (0427 867 412) as per previous blogs.
