Used BT10 axles (from Mk III carriages) ready to be moved into the workshop for cutting - A Nelms 21/06/2014
The first BT10 axle goes under the knife (band saw). These axles were rejected for future standard gauge use due to surface defects which will be machined away when making the new C2 axles - A Nelms 21/06/2014
