Carriage bogie to support the boiler
The Bury Standard 4 Group has issued its latest report on progress to overhaul Ivatt 2-6-0 No. 46428 since reports were issued last October and in January 2025.
Current work concentrates on the boiler firebox, with the first task being to remove the foundation ring, which is a large steel member that runs around the base of the firebox, to which the inner and outer wrappers, or inner and outer walls, are riveted.
Cracking of the foundation ring is quite common, which means it must be removed.
The copper inner wrapper is in very good condition, but the steel outer wrapper is worn all around the base and must be replaced.
May update on overhaul of Ivatt Mogul 46428
