Over recent weeks and months, work inside the firebox has progressed with a small number of perished stay nuts having been replaced.  The newly repaired ashpan has also been fitted.

Pistons have been returned to their cylinders, along with their covers.

Finally, the valves have had their rings attached to the valve heads, which have also been returned to their cylinders.

As ever, a significant note of thanks to the paid staff and volunteers who have helped to achieve this progress.
