Today's work was to machine up the firehole ring and bore out the backhead and firebox door plate. The firehole ring was lowered to more of a scale height on the backhead. An additional stay was added above the ring to support the backhead.
The front tubeplate girder stay was bronze brazed to the tubeplate with tobin bronze.
Firebox door plate was silver soldered to the inner firebox and is in the acid in preparation for tomorrow's inspection.
Happy steaming!
Nigel
