Doctor Syn in RH&DR overhaul workshop, New Romney, on 15 January 2010. The motion and wheels all re-painted, re-furbished and replaced into the frames. In this clip, Martin Blackwell (seen removing the piston valve front cover) and Kim Richardson tweak the valves to try to even up the tempo of the exhaust - looking for as-close-as 4 even beats in both forward and reverse gear. More setting will be required after the locomotive is steamed and run-in later in the year.
Amazing to see this side of the railway, these guys should totally make a dvd covering the overhaul of one of there engines!
