Another visit today and we started the loco up again and checked it got the brake pipe up and then took power both directions in both cabs. After running for an hour or so we started to prepare the tarpaulin to go over the roof at No 2 end. We shut the engine down , put the covers back on the start relays and pulled the tarp up and over the roof and secured it ti the loco body. We then took all 9 electronic modules out of the electronics rack for warm storage. We will continue to visit the loco
