I am very grateful to Ian Henderson from The Clan Project for adding a couple of descriptions below...

(Apologies for the horribly messy nature of this web page - I just don't have time to format it correctly at the moment!)

70000 'Britannia' at Crewe - Detailed Photographs - 28 May 2000

Britannia - Truck Right Front.jpg Britannia - Truck Right.jpg Britannia - Truck Underside.jpg Britannia - unknown 01.jpg Ian Henderson writes "On the left is the Brake Cross beam. This is attached through the link to the engine brake shaft brake lever. In effect this is a type of bell crank with the shaft being part of the assembly. I'm pretty sure that on the right is a spring hanger foot." Britannia - unknown 02.jpg Ian Henderson writes "This is looking over the middle and rear driving axle cannon boxes. The riveted area is where the 2" frame extensions meet the main frames.  Immediately above the trailing axle is the Front Firebox Support and Truck Pivot.  The cast vertical frame stretcher at the top of the picture is different from the Lot 242 Clan drawings as the triangle is much shallower. You may know that the Lot 242 Clans used the cast steel frame stretchers prototyped on 71000 so the vertical stretchers may well be different" Britannia - Valve.jpg
