Again a busy few days and more to come! The vacuum pipework continues on the front and rear buffer beam. Nick discovered in the Mag drill box 2 hooks which fit onto the side to support it. Life is so much easier! Problem with the sealant on the window, and new parts for the injectors. The boiler barrel angle ring has arrived from South Africa and a delivery of other large items are due this month from Israel Newton & Sons. A new steel firebox has been ordered, along with the outer wrapper.
