The boiler has had hydraulic and steam tests in recent days with new certification issued.
Safety valves work well, the injector has been replaced with a new Reeves one; the mechanical and hand pumps work as expected.
The chassis runs well on air in both directions, with some clatter from the motionwork and axleboxes.
An engine that can be run as-is, next winter would be a good time to pull it down for overhaul - it would make a decent example of this popular class of locomotive.
