If you had been at Whitehead on Thursday 21st April 2005, then you could have witnessed scenes like this: Our 0-6-0ST No.3, R H Smyth (known to friends as 'Harvey') has been out of action following expiry of its current boiler certificate.  The loco saw extensive action hauling ballast wagons during the relay of the Antrim-Bleach Green railway line and subsequently was due some tlc!  Here we see one of her driving wheelsets in the wheel lathe. Meanwhile, over in the machining area, Harvey's knuckle joint was being bored in the mill. Whilst all this was going on, John, one of the RPSI's resident engineers, was carrying out some detailed welding on No.461's outer firebox.  A big change is visible in only a few weeks.  This is only able to happen with your help in funding the 461 appeal - please do consider giving now if you havent already done so (thanks to those who have). I hope this has given you a fun insight into work behind the scenes at Whitehead. Why don't you come and join us? Click on the RPSI logo (above) to go to the RPSI Homepage
