  The bogie frame plates on the machine at CTL Seal for their final machining stage. Here are the team from CTL Seal and SSLC reviewing the machining instructions and drawings before machining started. The 2 plates have been tack welded together to ensure that they will line up precisely.

  All of the holes on the bogie frame plates have been drilled and reamed so, today, Sam was machining the bottom surface. Once that is complete, the final job is to machine the faces for the axlebox cut-outs. You can see a video by following this link.

The plan is to start riveting of the buffer beam on Friday 20 May.
