Overhaul update

We again start in the boiler shop, and look at the bottom of the boiler front ring, at the top of the photo.

The recent checks for thickness mostly showed no issues, except for this small section where smokebox char had begun to corrode the platework. The section has been cut out and an insert will be welded in.

Back on the frames, the horn guide has been final riveted to the replacement frame section and the horn clip bedded and fitted.

More parts to be refitted or, in the case of the copper lubrication pipework to the left, replaced. On the right are the sandbox filler pipes to the two leading sandboxes mounted between the frames. They are in good condition requiring only a minor rub down prior to fitting.
