Before the finishing touches can be done on 401s repaint volunteers are still hard at work re-fitting and fettling various pieces, fittings and pipework
 |
| Joe re-fitting the chimney seal inside the smokebox |
 |
| Baffle plate out for work as it's very worn and short |
 |
| Richard cutting the worn end off |
 |
| After cutting the end off he grinds a chamfer around the edge |
 |
| The new metal was welded on at the top, then heated up and hammered and bent into shape as needed |
 |
| New extension successfully welded onto the baffle plate |
 |
| Re-fitted in the firehole door |
 |
| Michael building up a mud-hole door with weld |
 |
| This is then filed and ground back to tolerance before re-fitting |
