Saltley Shed: mrsalt1261a
Close up of image 'mrsalt1261' illustrating some of the
locomotive maintenance work undertaken by fitters at Saltley shed. The rods are
most likely inside connecting rods off ex-MR 2F 0-6-0 No 3311. It appears they
are being held in a vice which in turn seems to have a pipe running down to a
hand operated hydraulic pump. The lever would increase the pressure and the
wheel alongside the lever would be used to lock the pressure. Behind the pump
lying on the floor is a set of springs, again thought to be off the ex-MR 2F
0-6-0. To the right is a 'porters barrow' which would be used to move very
heavy items around the shed.
