1. The Clan Project - building 72010 Hengist President - Carole Cuneo The Standard Steam Locomotive Company Limited Parent Body of The Clan Project Parts, People and Places. A selection of the parts in store, approximate location where parts are stored, and some of the people currently and previously involved in making this project happen.

2. The name of the finished locomotive. Both nameplates are in safe storage.

3. Horn Guide castings, 6 in total. One for each driving wheel

4. Rear frame extension plates. In storage at Ian Riley’s premises, ready for frame erection.

5. Current condition of frame extension in early 2010

6. Mainframe plate, prior to examination.

7. Both mainframe plates in storage 2010

8. This appears to be surface rust, but is actually mill scale from the manufacturing process.

9. The horn guides inserted into the frame plates.

10. Horn guides from above, showing the machining previously carried out.

11. Further overhead shot. At this stage it was thought that the machining might be incorrect as the hornguide looks too thin on one side. This eventually proved to be the case and remedial work needs to be carried out prior to frame erection commencing.

12. Smokebox and rear frame extension plates, presumably in Herston works.

13. Smokebox door and ring.

14. This smokebox door was the first one produced for 72010. It was subsequently fitted to 73096 to enable a mainline working to be carried out when 73096’s door was found to be defective. A replacement was made for us, and is currently at Ian Riley’s

15. The current state of the smokebox. It has been stored in the open for some while, but Riley’s say that it is excellent condition and weathering nicely.

16. Other smaller components stored within the smokebox barrel.

17. Smokebox door and ring, also currently on open storage. It has been suggested that the door be turned over to allow water to run off rather than accumulate as at present.

18. An instantly recognisable component. To comply with the modern loading gauge requirements for mainline running this is the only component that needs to be reduced in height – by half an inch.

19. Steam lance cock.

20. Some of the frame stretchers required to erect the main frames.

21. Some of the stretchers in store at Riley’s, ready for erection to commence. Again, what appears to be rust is in fact mill scale from the manufacturing process.

22. This was the inaugural meeting of the engineering committee. From left to right – Graham Ashton, Sean McKercher, Mike Beswick, Geoff Turner, Dave Etheridge and Chris Jones.

23. Mainframe plates were brought out of storage during June 2012 for examination and testing of the welds between the hornguides and the frame plates to ensure that all was in order before assembly commenced.

24. Faro Arm measuring apparatus in use, checking the dimensions of the frame plates and the location of all holes bored in the plates. All dimensions must be correct before assembly starts.

25. Chris Birmingham, Colin Green and Geoff Turner watch the Faro Arm operator in action.

26. Checking the condition of the welds, including materials used to carry out the weld, penetration and hardness of the welds. These test results were satisfactory.

27. In addition to the frame plates and stretchers stored at Riley’s, various other frame components are stored at a secure site in the midlands. The next few pictures show some of these.

32. Bogie frame plates. These are also currently in store in the midlands.

33. Bogie wheel pattern. It is anticipated that once the frame structure is complete that the next section of the locomotive to be worked on will be the front bogie.

34. A total of only 27 parts are required for the complete bogie assembly, some of which such as these bogie bearing pads are already in stock.

35. Bogie stays. These forgings will need to be machined and are currently stored in the midlands.

36. Further bogie parts – the spring perches.

37. Bogie frame lifeguards, machined and ready to fit.

38. Mainframe brake hanger bracket pattern. One required for each driving wheel.

39. Completed mainframe brake hanger brackets, machined and ready to fit to the completed frame structure.

40. BR 1 brake blocks. A full set of 6 for the driving wheels is in stock. These are disposable items and need to be replaced frequently.

41. Brake beam bearing caps.

42. This and the following pictures show the cab structure under construction. This is the cab floor structure. The cab was constructed at Herston works.

43. Cab roof drawings being studied.

44. Cutting the window apertures.

45. Test fitting the diaphragm plate.

46. Checking the fit of the cab roof to the rest of the structure.

47. Centre popping the guttering.

48. Marking out the spectacle plate from the drawing, ready for cutting the aperture.

49. Window beading being formed.

50. Upper structure almost completed.

51. Test fitting components to the vacuum brake pedestal. The AWS bell can be seen, loose, on top of a cab tool locker.

52. Wooden floor sections being test fitted. All wooden flooring is in store at our secure midland site.

53. Cylinder drain cock actuating lever, test mounted to the inside of the cab sheeting.

54. What the actuating lever will eventually control – the castings for the cylinder drain cocks, which will need to be machined at some point in the future.

55. The following are a selection of the many small and not so small parts held in storage. These are the cross stay bracket pattern and un-machined castings.
