This is a time-lapse video of 45035's Brick Arch being removed in early March 2019. A small leak towards the front of the firebox was found. In order to properly access the area for repairs, the brick arch needed to be removed. This process took roughly 3 hours and 3 volunteers to complete.

A fantastic video put together by RailView to collate the best footage gathered on 70013 Oliver Cromwell's last day in steam. Due to the special nature of this video, RailView have graciously allowed us to also upload and share this video on our own channel. This is certainly a video that needs to be added to the archives for the future. To quote the RailView's description "This video features exclusive footage by both RailView & the 5305 Locomotive Association filmed at the Great Central Railway including a volunteers eye view with prepping, the final light up, footplate footage, go pro footage, lineisde footage & on board the train." Please go and check out RailView's channel via the link below. All their videos are at least as high quality as this. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYYFql3JwXeDg7CYXW48QQg
