Status Under Restoration/Overhaul
Notes Identity has been confirmed by items found during restoration stamped with this number. The sides and end of the tank has not been replaced since preservation. During overhaul in 2003 all the platework making up the coal space was replaced. During the most recent overhaul completed in 2019 the dragbox and 50% of the frames (excluding the main frames) was replaced. The tender tank had plating on the the upper surfaces of the coal and water space replaced. The dome above the filler pipe from water scoop has been removed to make space for batteries to run the electronic and computer systems necessary for mainline running. The tender is now complete but the restoration of the locomotive continues.
