OVERHAUL 1999 - 2000 |

This interesting collection of pictures was taken during Blackmoor Vale's recent overhaul in the Locomotive Works, Sheffield Park. The overhaul enabled many parts to be viewed that are normally hidden. They are split into three sections:
1) Locomotive
2) Valve Gear (showing parts that are normaly enclosed in the oil bath between the frames)
3) Tender (including the construction of a new body).
Clicking on the pictures below will bring up a bigger version in a new window.
Large versions (1280 x 1024) and other pictures are available on the Villa Team page click here
