13.11.2021: Autumn work

Last Saturday the active members of the club were busy again. Work continued on the 50 3570. First, the ash box was thoroughly cleaned. Then the examination pit had to be cleaned of the slag.

Then the locomotive was driven back to the shed and the boiler was washed out. This is necessary from time to time because the lime contained in the boiler water settles on the walls and pipes in the boiler and can cause damage if the deposits become too thick. This is why the boilers of our steam locomotives have to be flushed with high pressure.

Work also continued on the future tender of the locomotive. After certain areas had been sandblasted a fortnight ago, some sheet metal work could now be carried out. Rusty sheets were cut out and replaced by new ones.

The youth was busy with internal transports.

In the afternoon a tanker came to supply our diesel locomotives with fuel. For this purpose the locomotives were placed on the track next to the locomotive shed.



There was also news from the paint shop: Here the diesel locomotive 0605 got new paint in the area of the running gear.

On a diesel loco V23 parts of the engine and the tank were repainted.
