Bug fixed

Posted by Admin on Monday, July 20, 2009

There was an issue with the Online shop which only seemed to occur with Internet explorer 8, that is, it squashed the table which the items were displayed in making it very difficult to read and navigate.

This has now been fixed and should display properly.

Busy Busy Busy...........

Yet again, a lot has happened since our last ‘Preservation update’, some of which has already been mentioned below, some not. First of all, let’s go right the way back to April.

On arrival at our storage facility, we were greeted with two new acquisitions, Valenta engine S155 and Marston cooler 71194. Sadly, these assets time with us would be short lived, as they were primarily acquired for component recovery. S155 is of the early recessed deck engines (the same as S148 mentioned somewhere below); this engine was primarily a strategic move, as it’s fitted with a NA-256 turbo charger which has just done a few years work since new. The Marston cooler was taken as it was the pick of what was available, though again, itself being just for spares. Sadly, as space was running a little thin, (now being up to 11 Valentas and 8.5 Marstons – don’t ask) it was time to take the ratchets and spanners to S148 and S155. We saved the Governors, Turbos, Inter coolers, Fuel pumps, Rockers, Pushrods and many other useful bits you could lose and find 10 times over. Marston 71194 met a quick end with the help of our newly acquired forklift ‘Lucy’, but only after safely removing some useful panels and a gearbox – you can never have too many gearboxes!

S148 and S155 were from the same batch of Valentas ordered by BR to replace the original fabricated blocks, both being cast back in 1981. RIP.
