GWR 2. 80. 0 Class No. Saturday 8th. We were all feeling a tad despondent at the prospect of having a Class 4. Sunday. So, a team of people attacked the leaking mud- hole doors problem, early on Saturday morning. Alex, Angela, Brian, Bruce, David, Gilbert, Graham, Jamie and JC all played a part - some had bigger parts than others ; -).

Starting by investigating the failed seal: was anything obviously wrong with the way they were fitted? Nothing visible. Rather than the usual . Bruce reckons that it appeared to fit well along the sides, but not at the ends. Instead of raising steam to test the seal, they used compressed air. This necessitated a wash- out plug being removed and replaced by one with a hole in it, to which an air hose could be fitted.

However, there was no adapter around that would couple the two together. So, Bruce and/or David made one!

By the time the compressor had managed to raise 1. Problem not fixed! It was noticed that the nuts securing the doors were all a bit tight on their studs.

In fact, Bruce found that by giving them a gentle (!) tap, he could turn the nut round one more . Could that stiffness have prevented them being tightened fully? Angela and David tackled the doors, cleaning them and running a die down the threads. The lead gasket was replaced with a Bluemax, and the exercise was repeated.

Alex and Graham had decided to clean the loco anyway because, even if no success, 2. Bruce lubricated the threads to help in the tightening. Pressure was raised to over 2.

With all fingers crossed, Jamie replaced the adapted wash- out plug; Graham and Angela lit a warming fire. Jamie took over on the footplate. Brian stayed to assist as required.

No sign of the doors leaking (yet). As part of the steam test, you have to demonstrate that pressure cannot be raised above the . Try as he did, Jamie could not get pressure to go over the 2. That’s a pass then! For the sake of checking the point at which each valve lifts, Jamie allowed it to drop and shut off, then raise pressure again to see if the lifting was consistent. Once they had stabilised, he reckoned that they lift at about 2. The event was held in conjunction with the Classic Bus Rally .

I did not mind very much because, they were using 2. Wednesday 1. 2th. Gil & Fred (and probably Bill, but if so, he was hiding!) continued work on the siphon van at Winchcombe. At Todders, we had a relaxing day - watching 2.

The pipes take steam at full pressure, and if one did happen to burst, the J cocks are the only way to stop steam engulfing the cab. Requires all changing. I would like to think that most drivers would simply have changed them when they take them out to do the oiling up in the morning, rather than putting the crap ones back in!

I would like to pass on our sincere gratitude for the effort (above & beyond) that numerous people put in over the days leading up to the Supporters’ Day, when it was looking highly likely that 2. I’m sure that I can say on behalf of all of our supporters: an extremely big thank- you for your determination to get 2. THANK YOU !!! Cotswold Steam & Wildlife Preservation Corner.

On Tuesday it rained, so things are looking promising.
