As many of my readers may be aware I have been assisting the local South Maitland Railways recouping some equipment for their 10 class locomotives.
After a fair bit of searching the cylinder boring machine was recovered from Eveleigh workhsops and returned to East Greta Junction. Also some ex SMR 18 cylinder covers were collected at that time.
The boring machine was designed and built by SMR, and has an indexing pick wheel to advance the boring head. You can see the photo of it installed on a cylinder.
Happy steaming!
