Progress has been made by the LMS Patriot Project, with the frames being moved inside the works at Tyseley.

The move was made on the 17th July after being outside under tarpaulin since they arrived from West Shed in December 2023.

This was needed as there was a wait for space inside at Tyseley, with volunteers working on preparatory work for the components that were delivered separately in March.

The first package of work will be the reassembly of the horn guides, with the outside cylinders and wheelsets now at Riley & Son Engineering.

The wheelsets are due back later in 2024 and will allow the frames to be re-wheeled once again.
