After a quick dig through my photos I found this (amongst a lot of others) taken at "The Great Gathering" Shildon on 16th Feb 2014
Took an awful lot of photos, it was a beautiful clear day with perfect light and being cold we got great steam

Amazing to think of the incredible loads that are put on the crank pin. Even with the hole closed as much as possible and triple-locked, the pin can still move in the hole.

Just saw that the North Norfolk Railway will be retiring Black Prince from service. This was taken in April last year when she was on duty for that day.
Ten-year boiler ticket has expired. I wonder if they have the available funds to start the overhaul?Mercdriver said:
Does that have a nut, locking nut and a split pin?
To be sure, to be sure.I would be surprised if those dents are from tapping to detect cracks, they look to deep. My money would be on a steel hammer being used to persuade the connecting rod onto the shaft. I would have thought a rawhide or copper mallet would have been the recommended tool.
This doesn't look good, what is it?

I've been out on my first ever Class 69 today (never been on a 56 either)
Can layout is a mixture of 66 and 56, definitely noisier than a 66 and vibrates more but wasn't as bad as I was expecting (heard through drivers etc)
But is it an 'Incredibly Cool Photo'? Can layout is a mixture of 66 and 56, definitely noisier than a 66 and vibrates more but wasn't as bad as I was expecting (heard through drivers etc)
To me it's just a dirty diesel and not even a Western or a Warship!
