Buffers have been given an undercoat, re-built with the springs and cottar pins, and put back on the frame. The springs were placed in the housing and pressure applied to allow the cottar pin to be inserted. Along with the coupling hook they were re-attached to the buffer beam. Next was No 9's frame re-siting in the Shed. She is now at the back of 2 road. This allows Ivatt Class 2 46464's chassis and boiler to be next to the outside world where they will be re-united in the future. The frame of No 9 needs to be perfectly level to attach the new stretcher and axle boxes etc and we used the Enerpac to start this process.
