| 12th August 2001:
The repaired Ivatt grate element had been replaced (broken by chucking this scrap item off the footplate). Note how it had been burnt and compare with this pic of the part before installation. |

| The Thomas event was in full swing, with a good crowd despite an overcast day. Naughty Diesel (seen here with 'Dougal') was up to his tricks again, but Thomas beat Diesel in the Tug-of-War and a best-of-three race with him. So there! |  |
| One of our long-distance volunteers, Kyoichi Oda (here for 10 days from
Japan) came to lend a hand at the Loco Shed, signing in at Ropley Manor in
his own language. d:-)
After we'd all cleared the pit of ash, Tim in the Class 11 shunter pulled 'Canadian Pacific' into position for reassembly of connecting rods and brake rods. |
