BR Standard 75078 over the wheeldrop

75078 had to come out of service on Thursday

A fitness to run exam showed a worn bogie pad

So the engine went over the wheel drop and the 

bogie was lowered about four inches to remove 

the pads and replace them

It goes to show how important such inspections

 are

The engine was pronounced fit again after the new 

pads had been fitted and the bogie lifted back and 

secured
