Work to date comprises a largely complete engine which is free to turn over, rolling chassis and silver soldered copper boiler.
The boiler has had a twice working pressure hydraulic test at 200psi for 100psi working - structurally sound, although with several small pinhole leaks which will require calking.
If you need reminding what the finished wagon looks like, we have a truly superb example in stock at the moment, pictures and further details here.
