Today saw 10 volunteers at the depot with work on power unit 430 and on Tulyar.
The first job was to move the main and auxiliary generators to the rear door of the depot. They are going to Dorlec for overhaul, then they will be fitted to power unit 430.
Work continued on the engine blocks of power unit 430, cleaning the faces that meet the
phasing case. The unit also had a good clean, removing 42 years worth of grime.
On Tulyar, No.1 auxiliary generator was connected up. The train and main reservoir hoses
were renewed with new certified hoses. A must when working on Network rail. The previous hoses were at least 30 years old.

Generators were collected at 9am this morning, Wednesday & work commenced later in the day.
