Therefore, you find the parents especially the mothers on the look out and she is ever ready to accept revised suggestions from the experienced elders, educators and community leaders. It is the rare commuter who has not found themselves stuck in these daily traffic jams and wondered if there was some way – any way - to avoid this wasted time. This benefits you in the long run as the search engines will be visiting your site often due to the constant updates.
Recently I read an editorial that said that even in a tranquil and peaceful setting, we are bombarded by sixty thousand stimuli per second. On the other hand, putting all your money into only one or two companies means that you may lose it all. It is found to be as a perfect choice of health supplement for those people suffering from weight loss due to malnutrition. Despite the high price of mobile phones sold in the market, the habit of changing cell phones regularly is something that we cannot simply avoid.According to the many European studies and the experts, laser therapy does stimulate weight loss and it is effective for eliminating cellulite.jsp?pubId=1&id=127.

Crown stays all drilled and we have now moved onto drilling the 1,600 side stays. Trial fitting of the copper firebox will then follow.
I have said before that building a full size steam locomotive is not an easy task. The past 3 months have been one of increasing frustration due to delays in supply of parts from suppliers or poor quality work which has led to the rejection of a number of components that were not of sufficient quality to be used on The Unknown Warrior. This will have an effect on the assembly of the locomotive as the parts are long lead time replacements.
Firstly, an apoligy from me for the delay in posting this up-date. The reports are created around the schedule for our Warrior Newsletter, for this up-date I just forgot to post it on the web-site!

Just a quick end of year report majoring on progress on the Boiler at Heritage Boiler Steam Services.
Recent work has seen the final fitting of the four brackets and mountings for the Main Reverser Shaft, the two brackets for the Inside Expansion Link and the single bracket for the Intermediate Reverser Shaft.
The foundation ring has now been riveted to the inner firebox at LNWR Heritage at Crewe. This is the final job that LNWR has undertaken on the new Patriot Boiler before it moves to a new contractor.
Contracts were signed with our new boiler contractor on 10th November, and further details will be announced soon.
Following the decision by LNWR Heritage to end all sub-contract work, the workload for the engineering team has increased substantially. This has impacted in several areas, including the time that would normally have been spent compiling these engineering updates. I hope that the workload will reduce in the coming months so the frequency of the reports will become more frequent.
This report starts with the good news that Chris Collins has returned to work at Llangollen following his medical issue earlier in the year.

Unfortunately, I have to start this report with some very un-welcome news. Chris Collins, one of the 2 Llangollen Railway Engineering engineers that is working on The Unknown Warrior has suffered a heart attack and has subsequently spent some time in hospital. I am sure everyone will join us in wishing Chris a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back at Llangollen as soon as possible.

Following on from the fitting of the Bogie at Tyseley on 4th February, work has continued on preparations to fit the Valve and Cylinder Liners.
Following the fitting of the bogie to The Unknown Warrior at Tyseley Locomotive Works in early February 2016 we are pleased to be able to publish these photos of The Unknown Warrior.in the yard at Tyseley.

Work continues on the construction of The Unknown Warrior at number of locations. The construction of a steam locomotive of any size is a complicated engineering task and the past few weeks have proved to be just that. While it may appear that not a lot is happening above the surface, in fact the 8 legged duck is paddling furiously although perhaps not all in the same direction!

The major work of permanent fitting the cylinders and Motion Brackets to the locomotive has been completed.
The major work at present is the permanent fitting of the cylinders to the locomotive frame assembly.
