It’s the first week of March and the flue tubes have now been removed to allow the engineering inspection to undertake a thorough internal examination which will inform the scope of work required to return the boiler to service.  The first image is a view from inside the firebox showing the empty boiler barrel.

A reminder that WSRA supporter Joe Rogers is running the London Marathon in April to help raise funds for the restoration of this locomotive.  He’s now into some serious training so please consider supporting him in his endeavours to support the restoration of 80064.
