THE Gowrie Locomotive Trust, which is constructing new-build Hunslet 0-6-4T Single-Fairlie Gowrie, has raised sufficient funding to have the main patterns made for the cylinders. Further cash needs to be raised to have the cylinders cast and machined.
Other items recently delivered to the project’s workshop include handrail pillars for the cab entrance (ready for fitting once the tanks and bunker have been fabricated) and newly manufactured leaf springs for the trailing bogie.
