The firebox door frame required a number of welds to build up the fastening studs, after years of use and corrosion. Oom John at work

First fitting of the door frame on the 15F 3117 firebox. It needed some work still to get the bolt holes to line up properly, but another step nearer to completion

Oom John is cleaning the threads on the studs, prior to the firebox door frame being refitted to 15F 3117. As far as restoration goes, there is at present almost no work left on her to do. First trial light upwill be at end August.
