Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's 957 boiler lift

Yesterday was taken up with several lifts around
Haworth Yard


Most notably L&Y 957's boiler was lifted clear 
to undergo ten year survey and overhaul


I have a very soft spot for the two oldest engines
in the K&WVR stable of which 957 is the elder


Now the work of restoration can begin proper


over the coming months the boiler will be fully 
examined and re-tubed


The engine completely opened for survey


Then the rebuild 


and once again 957 (The Green Dragon) will steam
along the Worth Valley
