While their other team of volunteers at Tyseley are removing the old firebox in parallel with the new firebox being constructed, which is already under way. As the society has received a new 3/4 flanged steel doorplate from the South Devon Railway and placed the order with the same firm for the flanging of the copper tubeplate and doorplate. The society is seeking help to get them over the line with this aim, to facilitate repairs that will secure the long term future of the locomotive. For details of the appeal can be found on their website and social media pages.
