Two of our long standing volunteers in engineering, Mike Crabtree and Peter Whiteley (Project Leader) visited the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways Boston Lodge works to view progress on the new underframe they are working on for Blackpool 298 this week.
They confirm significant progress has been made, with the majority of the underframe now being complete.
The cab underframe is still away being rolled to the correct corner radius and will return shortly.
Thanks to Paul Lewin, Jon Whalley and the Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways team for making them feel very welcome and allowing them to share the work in progress.
