Tyseley Shed: gwrt327a
Close up of image 'gwrt327' showing GWR 2-4-0 Barnum class
No 3210 with the bufferbeam removed and supported by a rail mounted trolley
tall and slim screw jacks. To access the cylinders which were inside the frames
under the smokebox required the bufferbeam to be removed a simple procedure
provided the bolts had not seized. This type of maintenance work was not too
difficult although the conditions found inside the shed in winter could be
challenging. Note on the left the water hydrant and washing facilities and the
door in the background marked 'Mechanics'.
