Rain has held up the actula beginning of the repair work as we work without a shelter for the moment. We anticipate repairs commencing soon,with a return to action sometime this year. The boiler will be removed from the frame,with the saddle shipped to an ironworks where it will be welded. the bolier will then be retubed,with a new Fom 4 calculated for the engine,plus some running gear work.
