Chuff Proofing (2)

In Chuff Proofing (1), 7109's co-owner Nigel had completed the superheater outlet steady plates.

Now he has completed the inlet steady plates which were more awkward than the outlet plates due to their inaccessibility at the front of the cab and the arrangement of the pipes themselves.

Snug fit around the inlet pipes from this side

A small gap is left around the nearest pipe below which will have to be blocked with ceramic lagging for a better seal.

Air conditioned this side!

Another job completed!
