but we have not been resting on our laurels. In Sydney, the cab has been riveted back together, while in Canberra, the work has been continuing at the usual pace.
The cab has been riveted over 2 days, with help from Goodwin Alco's Steve Preston, Craig and Dave, along with the two Mike's and Malcolm. The days were very noisy, and it was good at the end of the day to see lots of bolts replaced by rivets. Photos will follow shortly.
In Canberra, the hind unit has again been getting some attention. There has been some abrasive blasting performed to clean up some areas, the rear draft package is back in, and I am sure that there has been more black paint applied wherever there was bare metal.

The boiler has also been getting its fair share of attention, with the crinoline bands bing refitted in preparation for some new boiler cladding. More info shortly.
