K&WVR heavy lift of the Ivatt class 2 tank engine


Last weekend saw the first use of the new jacks



Each jack has a safe working load of 25 tonnes


That of course make a total lifting capacity of 100Tonnes


Ivatt 41241 was lifted clear of its wheel sets to allow 
examination of the bearings.
                                 

These give the railway a very useful addition to its 
capability


I am very grateful to James Horrel for the pictures. 
Though I was there and indeed helped with cleaning
bearing sets I had forgotten my camera. So once
again many thanks James.
