Another new loco to work on, this one being Sir Archibald Sinclair, a rebuilt Bulleid Battle of Britain class.  Today's task was to remove the cylinder drains and the rear cylinder cover in preparation for the boring being done on the cylinders later on.

front
The fromt drain was quite easy to remove....

rear
the rear needed a little more work, but was still quite easy....

cover
The cylinder cover, however, requires contortionists who posess great strength, dexterity, and the ability to be ambidextrous miracle workers, of which I am lacking in most, if not all departments!
