The power car has been jacked up so that the bogies and running gear can be removed. At the same time some remedial work has been done on the body of the car.

One bogie has been completely stripped down and the wheels taken out so that the final drive and the wheelsets and axles can be inspected.

The bogie frame has been shotblasted and then painted. New springs have been ordered and fitted and the brake gear and rigging has been re-bushed as required.

The first of the two engines has been stripped down into the smallest pieces. It has been found to be in poor condition, with congealed oil in the sump and water damage to the bores.
