Bogie pivot pin cast

Progress on the Bogie Pivot pin casting has reached the stage where we have had the casting cast. It now awaits machining to the finished state. The order for the production of the casting through to machining has been assigned to Boro Foundry at Lye and we are expecting the finished item to be ready for us in the next month or so. This item, along with the bogie pivot supports, need to be ready for the assembly of the front end once the cylinders are machined which, if all goes to plan, should be the end of the year.
