Close up of image 'gwrt1085' showing two of the repair roads with a GWR 2-6-2T tank engine stripped down to its frame with only the bunker remaining. The three sets of driving axles and wheels have been set down on the adjacent road with two metal rods and planks of wood positioned to prevent them from rolling. Each road had a pit with removable timber planking for accessing underneath the locomotive. In front of the wheels are two bearings which would have located the wheel sets in to the frame. On the left by the column can be seen the cover protecting the valves on the boiler and a set of springs.
