A 'hole' lot of trouble for loco rebuild fixed

摘要

The Standard Steam Locomotive Company group has set itself the ambitious challenge to recreate, operate and maintain a lost class of British steam train -a British Railways' Standard Class 6 'Clan'. They will use the original 1950s design drawings and 21st century engineering, incorporating modern design and manufacturing techniques and technologies into the build. The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) was involved in a major frame alignment measuring exercise for the project after a review of the build inventory showed critical gaps in the documentation for some of the key parts relating to the locomotive's frames.
