In recent months Mike and Peter have been dismantling the drivers cab from Beyer Garratt locomotive 6029
The cab was reduced to a kit of parts much like the kit that was delivered to the NSWGR in 1952.
Over the years much of the steel plate forming the cab sides had rested and these damaged sections now need replacement.![]()
One by one the rusted sections are cut out and new sections of plate have been formed to the original shape.
A new roof hatch has been manufactured as the original was beyond repair.
Peter inspects another section of plate that has just been welded into place.
