Chassis completion - update on the tendering process

A dialogue has started with Riley and Son Engineering, and tender responses are still awaited from The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust and Railway Forgings and Castings. However Tyseley Locomotive Works recently informed the project that they will not tender for the contract for workload reasons.

In the meantime work continues at Crewe Heritage Centre on the engine's lubrication pipework, led by Nigel Day.
