New Frame Components Ordered!
07/07/2014
	As you can see from the table above we are well on our way for the last few frame components. All of this progress would not be possible without the generosity of our members and donators. If we can continue this progress we will have everything in place to start frame assembly at Ian Rileys & Son (Bury).
Frame Assembly Rendering
22/07/2014
	This is the first frame assembly rendering from our friends at the 5AT group. The render shows the frame components currently held in stock (the frame extensions, bogie components and rear drag box gussets aren't shown at this stage. The components by colour are: Colour Description Red Main frame plates, horn guides and buffer beam Yellow Front Combined stretcher and spring hangar brackets Green Second combined stretcher and spring hangar brackets Blue Third combined stretcher and spring hangar brackets White Left slide bar bracket, Right slide bar bracket due to be cast. The left hand bracket is due to be machined shortly Gray Horizontal and vertical frame stretchers including the 'bread basket combined stretcher and brake cylinder support We also have the smokebox, smobebox ring, smokebox door, chimney, buffers and coupling gear, not yet shown on the render. Once again many thanks to the 5AT group for allowing us to reproduce the renders while they work on the cylinder exhaust, performance and efficiency project.

	The slide bar bracket maching has commenced at Boro Foundry. Photo courtesy of Boro Foundry Managing Director Nick Norton. This marks the start of a new phase of engineering in preparation for assembly next year. Don't forget you can still donate or sponsor a component, a list of which is available on our home page. Component part sponsorship is also available!
