The latest information on the overhaul of 45133
Latest Update
April and May 2022 has seen lots of activity on the overhaul of 45133. Rewiring and reassembly of the ETH cubicle is making good progress and looks immaculate. The intercoolers have been refitted to the engine and work is ongoing reconnecting all the associated pipework. Outside, the painstaking process of stripping all the old paint from the roof sections ready for repainting is nearly complete. Finally, the cab ceilings are receiving new insulation, lining and a repaint.

Members Working Days
Following the great success of our first special 'Members Working Day' in November 2019, we are holding similar working days throughout 2022. Members all work together with numerous tasks on the loco and enjoy a fantastic buffet lunch produced by one of the volunteer's wife. No specific skills are needed, just enthusiasm….we’ll guide you through the various work needed.
What’s in it for you? We’ll provide some lunch, you’ll be helping to get 133 back in service and you’ll get to learn new skills/apply existing ones along with meeting the friendly bunch who work in the diesel shed at weekends.
Interested? Just get in touch via Facebook or the contact page and we’ll do the rest.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
