Didcot 6023 work party
13th September 2008

Today I joined Nick & Ian on site to do a little more work on the King. Today the vac cylinder was mounted under the cab floor. Also other little jobs like many spit pins were put in place. It was good to see more progress on the boiler. Ed had been busy making the final pipework and Pete.G & Alex had put in some more stays.
