View inside the frames

 

Work on 323 is ticking along. This view shows the inside of the frames, with some components removed, some others replaced, and the con rods yet to be taken down.

One of the valve eccentrics. These had a tendency to work loose on the axle, so the inside has been re-metalled in order to get a secure fixing.
