The first of the new frames plates nears the completion of
the profile cutting machine at Stephenson Engineering (Manchester).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This momentous occasion is the commencement of the frame
assembly programme that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our
loyal members and donors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second frame plate will be profiled today (Friday) at
Stephenson Engineering and the both plates dimensionally checked. The task of welding
in the new horn guides, which are already at Stephenson’s, can then begin. This
will be followed by a thorough Non Destructive Test (NDT) including Magnetic
Particle testing and a Dye penetration test. This possibly all sounds very
simple: but when you consider that the frame plates need to mounted vertically
to allow access to both sides to allow balanced welding procedures to avoid
distortion to the frame plates or horn guides, it becomes apparent that it is
not so simple after all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After this is completed the plates will then still need to
be drilled, with all holes being undersize by 1/16<sup>th</sup> of an inch,
ready to go on to Ian Riley’s works for fitting of the frame stretchers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think it is safe to say that as of Thursday 28<sup>th</sup>
November 2013 the future of Hengist is assured. The build programme has started
in earnest.<o:p></o:p></div>

There is still time to get your name on our Frame Appeal
wall of honour by becoming an individual donor, or better still if you are not
already a member, please ‘Join the Clan’ and set up a regular standing order –
the “Cost <span style="font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%;">of</span> a Coffee” a
week would be a most valuable contribution. See our website, http://www.72010-hengist.org/index.php,

reality. <o:p></o:p></div>

Some great news. The horn guides have now been cast and fettled and are on their way to Stephenson Engineering. The plate for the new frames has also been delivered to Stephenson Engineering ready to be cut, profiled and the horn guides welded in.</div>

Other components are in the procurement stage such as the exhaust steam spider and the slide bar brackets. The plan is to manufacture all of the components together and assemble all in one go due to the number of components sharing the same frame mountings.</div>

If anyone would like to help us to raise funds to build Hengist, here's a quick way to help - at no cost to you...</h3>
<h3 style="color: #1f2454; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 9px;">
An Easy Way To Raise Funds</h3>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 14px; word-spacing: -1px;">
It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to <a href="http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/theclanproject" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">easyfundraising</a> first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for The Clan Project Building 72010 Hengist. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 14px; word-spacing: -1px;">
On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping - and those donations soon mount up.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 14px; word-spacing: -1px;">
So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via <a href="http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/theclanproject" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">easyfundraising</a> and raise money for The Clan Project Building 72010 Hengist at no extra cost to you!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 14px; word-spacing: -1px;">

The container of parts will be opened, and emptied, the container re-sited and some of the contents, along with the cab structure and the bogie plate frames will be relocated to safe, dry storage at a different venue. It is hoped that the cab can be refurbished at its new home after being outside in all weathers for the last 5 years, prior to eventual fitment to the frame structure. Anyone who is free to help out will be most welcome to assist the working party. Three members of the council of management will be in attendance, getting their hands dirty. Please feel free to come along and make yourselves known.</span>The Clan Project, building 72010 Hengisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09216289301146266263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1440947297731350469.post-2283796922057475512012-03-04T12:30:00.000-08:002012-03-04T12:30:51.471-08:00Getting Ready to Build<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Many parts of the engine have already been made and are currently in storage at various locations around the country.<br />
<br />
We are currently raising funds to have the three major inter frame castings manufactured, at a cost estimated to be in the region of £50,000. Further expense will be required to machine the casting prior to their being used in the assembly of the main frames of the locomotive.<br />

The picture is of the first of the patterns for these parts, taken in the workshop of Brian Oldford, the expert pattern maker, who has manufactured it for us. Currently we are seeking quotes for the casting of this important component.The Clan Project, building 72010 Hengisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09216289301146266263noreply@blogger.com0
