The smokebox shell design and drafting for the new build loco in Victoria (V499) was completed so the plates can be ordered and fabrication done. The money for its construction has already been raised via crowdfunding and the requirement was to complete the drawings started some time ago.
The chimney base was also dimensioned so it can be quoted. The top of the smokebox will be removable for accessability to the smokebox as per the same style as Puffing Billy's NA class.
Happy steaming!
