Some earlier news items which were missed out:
Pistons being installed on 29 December 2000.
A handy feature of the design of BR Standard tank engines the way the boiler is secured at the front
and back only,
allowing the tanks to remain in position which saves the time taken to reassemble the locomotive
after the boiler is installed,
seen here on 1 July 2001.
