    A bit of an update on 6023
    The bottom half is all but complete with some minor jobs to be finished in including various parts oflubrication pipe work.
    We have the OTMR box which is awaiting fitting under the tender, the TPWS control box is positioned under the drivers seat and is having its wiring run at the moment.
    The boiler is almost complete with all steel side stays replaced and small tubes fitted and expanded in, there are around 50 copper stays still requiring replacement.

    2009 is a real possibilty as long as the flues do not take too long to arrive.
