Posted by: Russell Newman on Jul 19, 2024 @ 10:07:48
The construction work of New-build LMS Patriot 4-6-0 No. 5551 "The Unknown Warrior", has started to pick up as the frames were moved inside the works at Tyseley Locomotive Works. The move was made on the 17th of July 2024 after being outside under tarpaulin since they arrived from Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust West shed at the Midland Railway - Butterley, in December 2023. This was needed as there was a wait for space inside at Tyseley, with volunteers working on preparatory work for the components that were delivered separately in March. The first package of work will be the reassembly of the horn guides, with the outside cylinders and wheelsets now at Riley & Son Engineering. The wheelsets are due back later in 2024 and will allow the frames to be re-wheeled once again.

Under the first phase of those plans, to be delivered by the summer of 2025 following the reopening of the renovated Power Hall, the museum aims to create accessible walking routes across the Upper Yard and 1830 built viaduct. While the current railway lines on the site will remain in situ, they will be resituated "in a cobbled landscape instead of stones, akin to when the railway workforce would have been able to cross the area", with a "static locomotive" position on the tracks outside the station for display. They has not been any train operations at the museum since 2018, and there are no current plans to overhaul "Planet" for now and the locomotive will remain on display in their Power Hall for now.
