00:03Devon. Hedgerows. Cream teas. Buckfast fortified wine.
00:11And the South Devon Railway. Not only a picturesque line, but encompasses quite a heavy industrial scene up at their
00:20Buckfastly station.
00:23How do you take it? Take what?
00:27There, your scones.
00:29Ah, now this isn't... two of those are correct, two of those are not correct.
00:32Right. Right, come here.
00:35What's happened here?
00:38You've spread your cream evenly, then your jam adheres nicely to the cream.
00:43This is a mess. It's a shambles.
00:45But I thought I'd do both, just in case. I never really had scones with my parents.
00:51I was more of a lime marmalade on toast chap, with the crust cut off.
00:55Oh, you had to have those off, did you?
00:57Yeah.
00:57Can you do crust now?
00:59I can.
00:59Can you? What age did you manage to do crust? Teens?
01:04When I went to uni?
01:05Yeah.
01:16I'm Francis Bourgeois, and I love trains.
01:19Oh, my God! Oh, God! That's such in my mouth!
01:22I've roped in my petrol head pal, Chris Harris, for an epic project.
01:27That's impressive.
01:28Rescuing a dilapidated locomotive.
01:30This isn't a quick fix.
01:32No shit, Sherlock. Look at the size of it.
01:34Francis hooked me with engineering.
01:36That is the coolest kilometre ever fitted into a machine. Look at that.
01:39That blew me away with weapons grade enthusiasm.
01:44Nice one, Danny!
01:47And I'm all in for a restoration race against time.
01:51She just rolled beautifully.
01:53Yeah, seven times.
01:54We've just six months to fix this loco to replace her failing sister.
01:59We have to get this locomotive ready for when she needs to come off.
02:03It's a race against time.
02:04Yeah!
02:05This is British industry!
02:08My dream is to see her back on the railway.
02:11You're like an infant reattaching to its mother's teat.
02:14Mine...
02:15I can live vicariously through you.
02:17...is to witness that moment.
02:21Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
02:33Just two places in the country can replace our loco's tyres.
02:37But only one has otters.
02:40South Devon Railway, Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary.
02:44What a lovely combination.
02:45I know.
02:46I'm actually going to keep that in mind for when I visit with Amy.
02:49Today, on the other hand, it's all business.
02:56Business using bungalow-sized tools named after ancient Greeks.
03:04I like big machines, Francis.
03:07Look at the size of that thing over there.
03:09Who would have thought in a sleepy Devonshire village
03:13that such heavy industrial work would be taking place?
03:17Staff here are expert metal fabricators
03:20who specialise in manufacturing loco parts and replacing tyres.
03:26It's quick fit for trains, isn't it, really?
03:28That's what it is.
03:29It would be quick fit if quick fit was only using antiquated machinery
03:33that required a particular touch.
03:36Hello.
03:37And that particular touch belongs...
03:40I'm Nick.
03:41To Nick.
03:41Nice to meet you, Francis.
03:43Nice to meet you.
03:43Chris, nice to meet you.
03:45Who's about to remove the tyres from our recently arrived wheelsets.
03:49What we need to do is basically shock the tyre off by putting lots of heat in.
03:53What sort of temperatures are we looking to achieve?
03:55250 degrees.
03:56I was expecting you to say 500 degrees.
03:58No, no, no.
03:59So the tyre starts to expand, then you get an air gap between the two.
04:02I always find it incredible how the one thing that keeps that outer band
04:07on the inner part of the wheelset is purely friction.
04:12It's just an interference fit.
04:14An interference fit.
04:16Each burner packed in like that, tight against the wheel.
04:19Involves heating the metal tyre until it expands enough to drop over the wheel pan.
04:24Yep.
04:25As it cools, the tyre shrinks, creating an immense frictional hold.
04:31Nick is reversing that process.
04:33It looks oddly ritualistic, this set-up.
04:36Happy with?
04:37Yes, that's quite perfect.
04:40He's got one of those lights for an oven.
04:42This is not high-tech, is it?
04:45I think it's rather marvellous, Chris, how we were scrubbing away at this
04:49wheel set up in Scotland, and now we're down in Devon setting it alight.
04:55Amazing process.
04:57Are we going to witness a sudden pop?
04:59No, no, no, it won't be that sudden.
05:01It's not forceful, it's gentle and laid back.
05:04And perfect for drying our wet clothes.
05:07That's like a British gas advert.
05:08Well, we had a British gas man, come here and look at this.
05:11He must have been utterly horrified.
05:13That is pretty mardy.
05:14So how am I...
05:16How am I supposed to insertify that, I think?
05:19I've walked off.
05:21The heated metal expands until a gap forms between the tyre and the wheel pan,
05:27breaking the interference fit.
05:29A depth touched by me on the crane.
05:33And it's hammer time.
05:36Look at that!
05:37Come on, Chris.
05:38Chris, push the button right the way down.
05:41Wow.
05:42And that was...
05:43That was ten minutes.
05:45Victorians were incredible.
05:46The idea, if someone worked out, heat it up, cool it down, and you get that, that will hold 100
05:53tonnes.
05:54Yeah.
05:54Yeah.
05:55It's unbelievably simple.
05:56The process has its roots in Bronze Age metal work.
06:01I can't believe that came away so easily.
06:03But the interference fit, sometimes called shrink fit, really came into its own during the railway era in the 19th
06:10century.
06:11Up you go.
06:12Nice and slow.
06:14That's it.
06:14Right.
06:15You're getting the hand of it.
06:16I'm feeling the same pressure as if I were to have been handed a newborn baby.
06:21All right.
06:22Down you go.
06:23Next, we need to flip the wheelset to get at the opposite tyre.
06:28Nick's removed tyres from five wheelsets already.
06:32This next one will be the last of 12 to come off.
06:36We had a little competition a while back to see how many tyres off we can get off in one
06:39day.
06:39Did you?
06:40Who won?
06:41Who do you think?
06:43Do you want to drive?
06:44Yes.
06:46We do this before lunch, can't we?
06:48Chris, I'll be right back.
06:51What's he talking about?
06:52Oh, he's gone off to see something.
06:53I don't know.
06:54What do you mean he's gone off to see something?
06:56Francis?
07:02I'm just taking the opportunity to see two of my favourite engines here that have come
07:11to the South Devon Railway for the Diesel Gala just this weekend gone by.
07:16Diesel Galas, imagine a festival but for diesel engines and instead of going to see like Doja
07:25Cat or Metallica you're going to see 47 715 or 33 002.
07:35So by complete chance two class 56's are here at the South Devon Railway.
07:43Come on Francis.
07:45One of us is doing all the work.
07:47Right.
07:47Let's get this turned on.
07:49And you're missing the heavy metal bit.
07:54Oh, that's fabulous.
07:56That's 12 out of 12 tyres removed.
07:59The 56, it's pure bogey pornography.
08:05Sounds very rude.
08:07Can you carry on doing that while I go and find his AWOL with a 12.56, yeah.
08:11One of my favourite noises after starting up when the compressor kicks in.
08:14Compressor kicks in, yes.
08:16So he's bound to be in here, isn't he?
08:19I thought, well it's going downhill, maybe not that much thrash.
08:23No, we saw you.
08:25Francis?
08:27We've got work to do.
08:29Yeah.
08:29And you're, you're, what are you doing?
08:30To have an 09 in amongst two 56's and a 47 is quite rare.
08:36We're here to do wheels and tyres.
08:38Right.
08:39OK.
08:39Come on.
08:40Get down.
08:41I'll forego an intimate exploration of the engines, but there's one thing I refuse to miss.
08:46I appreciate we have stuff to do, but it's not often you get to see this kind of thing happen.
08:52I'm hoping that Danny, who is a 56 legend.
08:57Is he?
08:57Yeah.
08:58I'm hoping he'll put the power down.
08:59Is he going to show off?
09:00Yeah, look at this.
09:06Nice one, Danny.
09:18I'll admit that was worth the price of admission.
09:21That was special.
09:21But special won't shod any wheels.
09:24Come on, you digress too much.
09:26Get down there.
09:27And before ours can receive new tyres...
09:32Hello.
09:33Gary.
09:34Oh, Gary, Chris.
09:35They need a ride on Gary's mega profile follower lathe.
09:39That's absolutely gorgeous.
09:41Which will shave metal from the wheel until it's perfectly true, ready to receive the new tyre.
09:47Right, let's crack on.
09:49Run the machine, it won't run.
09:50What do you mean it won't run?
09:52The start button won't start the machine.
09:55You've got an inch button, which is working.
09:58Yeah.
09:59But the actual start button for it to run is not working.
10:03Is that a recent issue?
10:05Yeah.
10:06What about our wheel sets?
10:10Because I think...
10:10Well, until they get the electrician to you so we can run it, we're not going to be able to
10:14actually finish the wheelset.
10:16I'll try and say that for you. Tough titty.
10:18Yeah.
10:19We're on a promise here.
10:21Bonus, so aren't going to be happy.
10:24The wheels have come off, and not in a good way.
10:27We're due in Scotland with the finished articles tomorrow, and we've no idea how long it will take to find
10:32a specialist electrician to fix the lathe.
10:35It's not my ideal outcome from a wheelset perspective.
10:39You think?
10:41Someone needs to break the bad news to Guy.
10:43And I know who.
10:45Francis.
10:46You could charm him round.
10:48Right.
10:48Yeah?
10:49Yeah, give him a bit of a...
10:51You know, a softening first.
10:53And then, by the way, the wheelsets might be...
10:56Late.
10:57Yeah.
10:58Come on.
11:16While we've been busy down south...
11:21The painters have been flying in Bowness.
11:26Led by a master with the brush...
11:30Jordan.
11:32So, the sooner we get this fixed, the better.
11:34His team has a monster task with a chilling deadline.
11:38We don't paint below five degrees.
11:40If it's too cold, the paint won't adhere to the steel.
11:43And as we're getting closer and closer towards winter, and we're in Scotland, those temperatures don't necessarily happen often.
11:51It's dropping below five degrees overnight and getting close during the day.
11:56So, the guys are flat out, welding, filling and sanding.
12:00We're going to begin to put the undercoat on now.
12:03If the weather overtakes them, this restoration is on ice till next spring.
12:09We're on a tight timeline.
12:10All right.
12:15Guy runs a tight ship.
12:17I'd hate to be the one to tell him the wheels aren't coming.
12:21Just not, my dear.
12:26I've rushed to Bowness ahead of Chris, armed with a sweetener for Guy.
12:38Guy.
12:39Hi, Francis. How are you doing?
12:40Greetings from Devon.
12:42Yes, how was it?
12:43Good to see you.
12:45Some of the local produce from the South Devon Railway.
12:50I like that.
12:51A bit of caffeine mixed with a bit of alcohol.
12:53Mm-hm.
12:54There's a few people around here who drink that, that's for sure.
12:56Thank you very much. Much appreciated.
12:58You're welcome.
12:58What brings you with gifts?
13:00So, the wheel sets.
13:03Mm-hm.
13:05Tyres were coming off.
13:09One of their lathes wasn't playing ball.
13:12So, they've advised that this is going to have a bit of a knock-on effect.
13:18Potentially a couple of weeks, maybe a bit longer.
13:21But it depends on whether they actually get it fixed.
13:26And with such an antiquated machine, apparently they had someone down to look at it and they couldn't, they didn't
13:33know what was up with it.
13:34So...
13:36That's not so good.
13:37Buck fast, I'd much prefer wheels fast.
13:40Right.
13:41Yeah.
13:41Yeah.
13:41I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
13:44We'll keep fingers crossed.
13:45Yeah, absolutely.
13:46Erm...
13:47And...
13:48Painting today?
13:49Painting today, yes.
13:51Erm...
13:51Jordan's downstairs.
13:53Waited with bated breath for you to, er...
13:55Help him with the first...
13:57So, this will be the first coat of...
14:00Gloss.
14:01Yes.
14:01British Rail Blue.
14:03Make sure you get it right.
14:04Ha ha ha.
14:08Wow.
14:10It's fantastic.
14:12How's it going?
14:13Hello.
14:14Francis.
14:15Jordan.
14:16So, you've been working on this?
14:18Absolutely.
14:18I've done a lot of filling, a lot of prep, and thankfully now, it's all done.
14:23Right.
14:23And onto the painting.
14:24I can teach you the process, I'll then put you onto this side.
14:27Great.
14:28So, these are the doors that have come off the middle.
14:30I've sanded them all down, I've undercoated them.
14:33We're going to tack cloth them.
14:35So, these are the tack cloths, and they're basically just like a piece of fabric that's
14:38got a residue on them, and that picks up all the dust.
14:42Dust, particularly metal dust, is the enemy of a good finish.
14:46So, while Jordan and I paint, the rest of the bonus Avengers are banished from the shed.
14:53Do you think it's worth wearing a beanie?
14:54If you've got a beanie, put a beanie on.
14:57I don't have a beanie.
14:58I've got a beanie.
14:59Please, may I borrow your beanie?
15:01Okay.
15:02Right.
15:03It's probably a good idea as I have awful dandruff as well.
15:05Yeah.
15:07So, we're going to remove all the dust and residue off each of the door panels.
15:11So, I'll do one and you can do one.
15:15You can see there is some dust there, yeah?
15:17Yeah.
15:17You want a nice even coat, just go up and down, nice and straight, applying an even pressure
15:24as well.
15:25Is that okay?
15:26That's fine.
15:27So, these kind of like pock marks that are forming, is that just the air bubbles?
15:31That's exactly right.
15:33You just gently move up and over like that.
15:35Oh, wow.
15:37Like that.
15:38And then me back down like that.
15:41All the bubbles pop out.
15:42Bravo, Jordan.
15:43That looks fantastic.
15:45Right.
15:49Perfect.
15:54That's it.
15:55Perfect.
15:56I think that might be the most thrilling bit of TV that might ever be filmed.
16:01Yeah.
16:02People say it's boring to watch paint dry.
16:04I beg to differ.
16:05But that's just the warm-up.
16:06The real test is to paint the entire side of the beast.
16:11Because it's all one uniform piece, any overlap will look quite sort of liney.
16:17Once we start, there is no stopping for either of us.
16:19We're just going to have to continue.
16:21I am feeling the pressure.
16:22You're just working at one foot at a time, just making sure you're doing your best in that section.
16:27And if you just do that every foot for the 20 or so metres we're about to do, it will
16:32all go great.
16:33A lot of trust has been put in me to do a very important task.
16:45I'm ready whenever you are.
16:47OK.
16:55Which?
16:56Completely your choice.
16:57You begin this.
16:58This is the start of it.
17:06Why is it so air bubbly?
17:07It's just because you're applying a bit more pressure than you were originally.
17:11But that's absolutely fine.
17:12OK, then laying off.
17:13Exactly.
17:22How daunting was that?
17:24I went into like a mode where nothing else mattered.
17:27Complete flow state.
17:29Yeah.
17:29That's exactly how it is.
17:30So we need to carry on now.
17:32Once we start, we can't stop.
17:37Even though it is a brute, right now I'm feathering the brush as though I'm kind of stroking a newborn
17:45kitten.
17:47Being here with it now, it feels like I'm almost undressing it in a way.
17:51It feels a bit intimate.
17:53In the 80s and late 70s, there would have been someone in Inverness, TMD, doing exactly what we're doing now,
18:02using exactly the same techniques.
18:04I'm not only connecting with the locomotive, but I'm connecting with its heritage and everything around it.
18:10It's spiritual.
18:25Would you like the honours of finishing as you started it also?
18:28Oh yes, please.
18:33Done it.
18:35Finally.
18:40Nice one.
18:41It's alright then.
18:42What an experience.
18:44Yeah.
18:44That was one of the most intense three hours of my life, but so rewarding.
18:50I've done this whole side and I can stand on a platform and think, God, it looks great.
18:58Oh yeah.
18:59Oh yeah, I did that.
19:01Very special moment in my life, you know, painting 37025.
19:07My work here is done.
19:11But Jordan doesn't have the luxury of stopping now.
19:15The temperature's dropping every day and he's got to get three coats of gloss on the cab, the roof, every
19:21shutter and window frame.
19:25And while he weaves his magic,
19:29I'm working on my own masterpiece for Chris, who's due at our B&B in the morning.
19:48All right, Chris, I've pulled something together for a matter of class 37 education.
19:57I've taken great pleasure in writing every single class 37.
20:04All 309 of them.
20:06Stop, rewind.
20:15How long did that take?
20:17About four hours-ish.
20:20Amazing.
20:27Do you mind if I, like, just take you through?
20:30Mind? There are people in your world that would pay £10,000 to receive a private lecture on a class
20:3637 from you.
20:38Floor's open.
20:42So, 37001 renumbered to 37707.
20:46The Dash 7s were nicknamed heavyweight tractors.
20:49They put weight on the frame of the locomotive.
20:52They also modified the generator.
20:55So they replaced it with a brush alternator and did some rewiring and other refurbishment.
21:00That was unfortunately scrapped in September 2011.
21:0437002.
21:05Sorry.
21:07Do you intend to spend as long on each of these chassis explaining them?
21:11I'll up the ante where the ante needs to be upped.
21:14So 37002 renumbered to 37351.
21:17That's a Dash 3 subclass.
21:19Not to be confused by the Dash 0s that led up to what looked like would be a Dash 3.
21:26Why were they renumbered?
21:27When there was a bit of work that had been carried out, for example re-bogeying, fitting with an alternator.
21:33If you wanted a locomotive that had ETH fitted, you'd go for a Dash 4.
21:38What's ETH?
21:39Electric train heating.
21:40So, where were we?
21:4237002 was scrapped in November 2007.
21:4537003.
21:46So this is our first preserved Class 37, preserved by the Class 37 loco group.
21:5237004 scrapped June 1996.
21:5537006 another heavyweight tractor.
21:58Scraps in July 2009.
22:30OK, that's quite early to be scrapped, isn't it?
22:33It collided with a class 303.
22:35It had a bent frame, so they needed to scrap it.
22:37In the interest of time, I'm going to start abbreviating,
22:40so I won't do the 37.
22:41OK.
22:4314 was renumbered to 709, scrapped September 2011.
22:5120 scrapped 2009 in Spain.
22:55Wow.
22:56British locomotives were brought over.
22:57Some 37s went on holiday and they never came back.
23:00022 renumbered to 37608.
23:03That's a good 37.
23:04The thing that I have amiss are the names that they've carried.
23:07Oh.
23:08Do you wish you'd done names rather than numbers?
23:11No.
23:11And of course.
23:1437025.
23:15That's our beast.
23:16Preserved at the Bowness and Coneal Railway.
23:1926 scrapped July 2029.
23:22Preserved at the...
23:2830 another heavyweight tractor, scrapped January 2008.
23:3231 scrapped.
23:33Right, so you've upped your pace a bit.
23:36I like that.
23:37But we've done 31.
23:38You've got 300.
23:41Yeah.
23:43I'll go quicker.
23:4532 preserved at the North Norfolk Railway.
23:4736 scrapped 2023.
23:50A recent loss.
23:51Sad to see it gone.
23:5337037 preserved at the South Devon Railway.
23:5675 has two different faces.
23:59One side has a split headcode box.
24:01The other side small beady eyes.
24:0276 absolute beast.
24:0486 that is a machine.
24:06099 they cut off its split headcode box.
24:09That's not right, is it?
24:11No.
24:12607 has a lovely throb.
24:14109.
24:15Owned by a legend, Chris Guntrip.
24:17116.
24:18Had a wonderful cab ride on 116 recently.
24:21Nearing the end now, Chris.
24:22Oh, sorry.
24:22Just looking at the floor.
24:24305.
24:25Renumbered 407.
24:26I had that on a lovely journey up the West Coast Main Line.
24:28I told Amy I would get off at Crewe, but I stayed on until Preston.
24:33I was in deep shit.
24:3637403.
24:36We've both had that for haulage.
24:37And of course, 37308.
24:41Owned by the legend, Tony Middleton.
24:44And there we have it.
24:46All 309 Class 37s.
24:49Have you considered taking this to the end of a fridge?
24:53I'm more interested in showing it to Guy.
24:59Thankfully not raining.
25:00Is that permanent marker or is it...
25:04It's whiteboard.
25:04Well, you should lacquer it or you'll lose it.
25:06I also want Chris to see the fruits of my labour with the paint roller.
25:15I've encountered so many beautiful BR Blue engines.
25:19I've filmed them and photographed them all over the British Isles.
25:25But I've only had a hand in painting one.
25:30And Jordan has taken our masterpiece to the next level.
25:44Guy.
25:46Look at this.
25:47Good age, Jens.
25:48Oh.
25:49Jordan done good.
25:51Yeah, he did.
25:51What did a yellow call?
25:53Warning yellow.
25:54Warning yellow.
25:55Indeed.
25:55It's very close to signal yellow on a Porsche.
25:58Oh, yes.
26:00Wow.
26:01This is a great colour.
26:03Yeah.
26:04I love it.
26:04I'm having this colour on a car and so are you.
26:07Really a thing of beauty.
26:09I've got a present for you, Guy.
26:11As I understand, you're a numbers man.
26:13Yes.
26:14025.
26:15Preserved at Bowness and Canal Railway.
26:17Indeed.
26:18Yeah, I love it.
26:19That's cool.
26:20Thank you, Francis.
26:21As for 025, the delay goes on and we're nearing the point where our entire restoration stalls for want of
26:29some wheels.
26:31So, ideally at this point, we'd be fitting the new wheel sets to the refurbished bogeys.
26:38South Devon Railway, their lathe is apparently still out of action.
26:41So, I mean, what should we do?
26:44Don't worry.
26:45There's always loads of things to be doing here.
26:47Do you think there's a space for it in the property?
26:50I'm sure we'll find a space for it.
26:51Don't worry.
26:53I'm more worried about the space between my ears.
26:56Good Lord.
26:58Because I've just had a message.
27:00This is a nightmare for me, this is.
27:02Reminding me that I'm meant to be in Bristol in 15 minutes.
27:06I really don't like tech at all.
27:08I've got to improvise and fast.
27:11Right.
27:12So, I'm going to press record now.
27:14He's doing his car podcast.
27:16Hello and welcome to the car podcast with Chris Harris and his friends.
27:22It's been an interesting day because I failed to turn up this morning for the recording.
27:28He's an hour and then he'll be back.
27:32Very busy man.
27:34Oh, only issue.
27:36Salt spreading.
27:41Hi guys.
27:43Chris is doing his podcast.
27:47In the meantime, I was just wondering if there's anything I could help out with.
27:51I can get that axle box ready if I end the bogey.
27:54Okay.
27:54We haven't formally met before.
27:56Stuart, right?
27:57Yeah, I'm Stuart.
27:58AKA God.
27:59God to some people, yeah.
28:00Not everybody.
28:04After four decades of volunteering here, Stuart's been dubbed a deity.
28:10The guys here call me God, which I feel is maybe a bit excessive.
28:16During the week, my job involves looking after the fleet of locomotives that work the Caledonian
28:20sleeper trains between London and Scotland.
28:22Yeah, the driver.
28:23Yeah.
28:23He's not happy with it.
28:25I've gained a lot of knowledge over the years, which I'm always happy to pass on.
28:30So the first thing we need to check is the clearance inside the axle box.
28:34It's the will of God today that I check on the axle box.
28:38This supports the end of the axle and helps the wheel rotate smoothly.
28:43So what we've got in here is two sets of roller bearings, and they've got to have a certain
28:46clearance.
28:47Okay.
28:48Two bearings inside the axle box are separated by a spacer that must have a precise clearance
28:53to avoid friction.
28:54You'll be able to move it backwards and forwards, a tiny amount.
28:57There's a very slight amount.
28:58Yeah.
28:58If wear and tear causes too much clearance, the axle box isn't safe.
29:03So I'll get the measuring device.
29:05Ooh.
29:06We need a combined measurement of forward movement.
29:11Three thousandths.
29:13Yeah.
29:14And backwards.
29:16Fourteen and a half thousandths.
29:17Yeah.
29:18So a total clearance of 17.5 thousandths of an inch.
29:23So is that within the tolerance?
29:24No, it isn't actually.
29:25Is it not?
29:26No.
29:26You've got to have at least five, and the maximum should be 15.
29:29So we've got 17.5.
29:32Yeah.
29:33We have to take the axle box off.
29:34Okay.
29:35And then there's a spacer ring, so we need to change that spacer ring to a bigger one.
29:39And that'll take up some of that clearance.
29:41Okay.
29:44What you can do is you can spin the whole thing round.
29:47Ah.
29:47I was going to spin myself around then.
29:50I don't need to struggle.
29:52Bit of a pain about the lane at the South Devon Railway, isn't it?
29:55Yeah.
29:55Could have done without that.
29:58Dinner is served.
30:00Right, now, presumably...
30:02Before we go any further, we need to get the lifting platform under it.
30:06It's an honour.
30:08An honour to work with God.
30:10Perfect.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Get a side each.
30:13There we go.
30:14So this is the spacer we need to change.
30:16Yeah.
30:17So if we take the spacer out...
30:19Is there a range of different spacer sizes?
30:22Yeah.
30:22So it needs to be 2.5 thousandths of an inch more than this.
30:27Yeah.
30:27The spacers that we've taken out are too small,
30:31and now we're just looking to find spacers 3 thousandths of an inch wider.
30:37And while God hunts for those little blighters,
30:39I can drool over some magnificent axle bearings.
30:43A tapered roller bearing here, tapering inwards,
30:47and another tapered roller bearing here towards the middle.
30:51And this in the centre here is where the spacer is.
30:54These are spinning at the equivalent RPM
30:57that makes the locomotive go at 80 miles an hour,
30:59whilst bearing one-twelfth of the weight of the locomotive.
31:05Spreading its bulk across 12 wheels in six axles
31:09gives a Class 37 a relatively low axle load,
31:13meaning it can work anywhere,
31:15from main lines to slower heritage lines,
31:18and even lightly built highland lines.
31:22The roller bearings themselves are made of hardened steel,
31:26but the grease is actually what's really important,
31:29because the hot axle box can spell bad news,
31:32and it's the grease that keeps things within the operating temperatures.
31:36A warning light that comes on on the motorways,
31:39the dreaded end-of-year enjoyment, it's all gone.
31:42Can you take your car out again, because it's going to rust?
31:49Let's try that one.
31:531.07.
31:55That's too small.
31:56We are having no joy finding the right-sized spacer.
31:591.056.
32:02So that's no use.
32:03And face yet another major setback.
32:06We can't assemble it like that.
32:07No.
32:08Not giving up yet.
32:14OK, this is promising.
32:151.06.
32:17So that might do us.
32:19We have a winner.
32:20I hope.
32:21Do you want to pay a review?
32:23I'll pay a review if that's all right, yeah.
32:25Measure twice and all that.
32:27I think this set will do.
32:29Yeah?
32:29Yeah.
32:30So usually Chris would be my peer review.
32:32Right.
32:34But he's with his other peers now.
32:36Right.
32:38And he's been with them for longer than his allotted hour.
32:41And we love you all.
32:43So this is the end of episode 63.
32:45We will see you for 64 next week.
32:47Bye-bye.
32:49We just finished it.
32:50Did you hear me going goodbye?
32:51Yeah.
32:52What are we doing now?
32:53We are replacing a spacer on some roller bearings.
32:58Oh, now we're talking.
33:01And what we're talking about is massive.
33:04I'm still just staggered at how big it all is compared to a motor car.
33:07Yeah.
33:08I'm glad Chris is here for the spacer replacement.
33:12Not least to lend some muscle for pushing the axle box cover over the bearings.
33:17You want to slide it on?
33:18Aye.
33:18Sure.
33:19Okay.
33:20Oh.
33:22Give it a bit more.
33:23Give it a little nudge now.
33:25There you go.
33:26There.
33:26Nice.
33:27Right.
33:28These are just pinching the washers now.
33:30Get them as tight as you can with the spanner.
33:32And then we'll give them a bit of extra with a hammer.
33:34Hammer?
33:35Yeah.
33:37So the correct procedure is to torque them, which we'll do later.
33:39So instead of getting the old torque wrench to a certain number of metres, you just hit them with a
33:43hammer?
33:44Yeah.
33:45But the trick is to hit them all the same with a hammer.
33:47Ah, okay.
33:48So there was a skill to that?
33:49Yeah.
33:49Okay.
33:51You'll feel it start to...
33:54That was a 10 newton metre hit.
33:56Yeah.
33:57Oh, my go.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Fantastic.
34:00Oh.
34:02That the roll?
34:03Yeah.
34:03You happy?
34:04Yeah.
34:05Shall we now check if it's with intolerance?
34:08Yeah.
34:09So we're getting 7,000ths.
34:11Right.
34:12And we're plus 11,000ths.
34:15That's 18,3.
34:16That's not any better.
34:19The clearance has got worse.
34:22Not better.
34:24So if we've replaced the spacer, there must be something else.
34:29Is this abnormal?
34:31That shouldn't have happened.
34:32Yeah.
34:32I'm really worried by your face, Stuart.
34:35Yeah.
34:35I don't know what we're doing now.
34:38Just let me try to tighten these up.
34:43Well, it could be down to my puny hitting.
34:47I'd say that's 7,5 on both sides.
34:49We're on 15.
34:50That's fine.
34:51So you're happy with that?
34:52I'm happy with that.
34:52Well done.
34:53Teamwork makes the dream work.
34:54Oh, God.
34:55A godly hammer blow on the axle box nuts, and we're golden.
35:01This calls for a pastry-based celebration.
35:04I come with pork pie and good news.
35:07Ah.
35:08OK.
35:10Hi, it's Gary, South Devon Engineering.
35:13We've got our blue lathe fixture now.
35:17So everything's up in the linen, and everything should be on time now.
35:22The wheels are back on Project 37.
35:25This calls for more than a pork pie, Francis.
35:27I might have won't.
35:28But will we celebrate with fish and chips?
35:30Yes, please.
35:31Yes, please.
35:31Yes, please.
35:49Yes, please.
35:50Meet me with bits they've got in common.
35:52Hmm.
35:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:53The lathe is working.
35:55The lathe is working.
35:57I want to meet the person that fixed that thing.
36:00I think it might have been a Stuart-esque hammer.
36:03Hammer in the right place.
36:04In the right place, yes.
36:06Fish and chips.
36:07The wheel's on track.
36:08Look at this.
36:1070s locomotives, top trumps.
36:13It doesn't get better than this.
36:14European locos that...
36:16Oh.
36:18How can you tell they're European?
36:19There's only one picture.
36:21Distinctively German.
36:37The new day's a lot brighter after the good news from Devon about our wheels.
36:44I think this is part and parcel of the restoration process.
36:48What, things have got to go wrong so you feel good?
36:49Yeah.
36:50And we're toasting their imminent return with a pre-work brew and the best view on earth.
36:56Must be the most famous railway bridge in the world.
37:01The fourth rail bridge voted Scotland's greatest man-made wonder.
37:07This cantilevered marvel is a Victorian masterpiece.
37:14Fabulous.
37:15There's some resemblance in it that's like Weetabix.
37:20Yeah, the shape is wholesome.
37:22Morning cereal.
37:24It looks a little bit fragile in some areas.
37:28Like you could sort of snap a bit off and eat it.
37:29Yeah.
37:34The only other bridge that's painted that colour is the Golden Gate Bridge, and that beats it.
37:44This was completed in 1889?
37:46You think about what they went through to make that, and we've got Wobbly over a wheel set.
37:52Yeah.
37:54Yeah.
37:54The fourth bridge has to be continually painted.
37:57Yes.
37:58That's become a metaphor to describe never-ending work.
38:02Yeah.
38:03I'm going to tell you something quite personal now.
38:05All right.
38:06So I'm quite an astute man.
38:08Yeah.
38:10And many years ago, I thought that I'd have my back waxed, and the woman said that would
38:18be like painting the fourth bridge.
38:19She said, you'll do one bit, and then the next week you'll need to do it, so don't bother.
38:24If that makes the edit, I wish I'd never told you that.
38:28Have you tried laser treatment?
38:34Do you know you say they're always painting it?
38:35Are you seeing anyone painting it?
38:38No.
38:38Maybe I should go and investigate.
38:40I think you should.
38:41In the meantime, I think we all worked it, haven't we?
38:43Yeah.
38:44Come on.
38:44I'm freezing as well.
38:45Come on.
38:48I'm going to make it my mission to go up this bridge and find the answer.
38:52But Chris is right.
38:54We've got work to do ahead of the triumphant return of our wheels.
39:07It's beautiful.
39:08First job of the day is remove the driver's seat.
39:12Let's get in this cab.
39:14Before we take it out, I'm going to sit in it.
39:16I like this.
39:18I like this bit.
39:19The seat you're sitting on isn't original.
39:21The original 37 seats, from a comfortable perspective, isn't really a premium product.
39:28It looks like it.
39:30They're sort of short, leather-backed, with kind of nice arm rests, but certainly not
39:35as comfy as these.
39:36This is comfy.
39:38May I?
39:39Yes.
39:43This is the second best cabin I've been in.
39:47Ask me what the best is.
39:49What's the best?
39:50The abandoned Buran Russian orbiter.
39:56Their shuttle.
39:57Oh, wow.
39:58That's at Baikonur.
39:59They have a cockpit that you can go in and press the buttons.
40:02Crikey.
40:03The Class 37 runs it a close second, though.
40:06I really like it in here.
40:08But that won't stop me taking bits off.
40:11It does feel like one is slightly removing the identity of the entire vehicle taking the seat
40:19out.
40:19Yeah.
40:20Four knots on either side.
40:24You know how on some seats you can see the layers of...
40:28Yes.
40:29Mung.
40:30What's mung?
40:31Mung is a good word to describe the build-up of matter.
40:35Yeah.
40:35Ready?
40:36Yeah.
40:40Well, that is, don't you?
40:42That's bum dust.
40:44That's like 30 years of human mung.
40:50The plan is to re-upholster and return this seat, but I may have a better idea.
40:56These seats are used in the London Overground trains.
40:59I saw one of these on the TfL Museum shop for about 950 quid.
41:05Same seat?
41:06Same seats.
41:07Money like that could buy a brand new seat and have cash left over for the cause.
41:12So, could be an option.
41:14What's a race for money?
41:16Yeah.
41:16And enhanced value with Class 37 driver detritus.
41:22Well, they want it like that?
41:24Well, it's a bit of heritage.
41:26I can understand if you want it recovered, but why do you want it like that?
41:29It's disgusting.
41:31It's part of the grit of the locomotive, I'd say.
41:34I think you can apply that to the vehicle itself, but not the stuff that's had human DNA in it.
41:40Hmm.
41:41What else are you into I should know about?
41:44Right, shall we remove the base here?
41:48I'm slightly worried now.
41:50Take that and I'll take the seat.
41:51Right.
41:52Okay.
41:54Have you got it?
41:55Yep.
41:55Okay.
41:58If it was a car seat, I'd say it was British Leyland mid-70s.
42:04This could be an Allegro or a Morris Ital or an Ambassador.
42:09Though a DNA test would probably reveal it's 80% Scotsman.
42:14It's absolutely minging.
42:15Even so, it's a dirty job down.
42:18Oh, God.
42:20I'll just put these here so we can pick them up.
42:23A quick clean up and we'll ask Guy what else he wants smashing out of the park.
42:28A quick clean up.
42:30A quick clean up.
42:32A quick clean up.
42:34Do we have a word?
42:35Yeah.
42:36Chris?
42:37Okay.
42:38We have some news from South Devon.
42:42Good news?
42:42And it's not good news.
42:49One of the wheels is...
42:51It's got some damage on it we weren't aware of.
42:55What's the damage?
42:56The wheel rim.
42:58There's a...
42:59What looks like a dent.
43:00It's very small but the amount of damage you're allowed is really tight.
43:04We need to investigate further.
43:06If it's too big, the wheel is scrap.
43:11This is going to cause quite a significant domino effect, timeline-wise.
43:16There's time and cost implications.
43:21Goodness.
43:23Right.
43:24If it can't be fixed, then sourcing a new wheel will take time and money we don't have.
43:32Ah.
43:53Coaster Atom.
44:04Would you try to tackle Islam.
44:04And if it's time and something we have to call.
