Update as of date
By January 2018 the boiler and firebox cladding had been completed and then dismantled. The boiler had passed an ultrasonic test on the thickness of the plates and passed a non-destructive test for cracks. Work had commenced on drilling out firebox steel stays and grinding off rivet heads holding the foundation ring before the boiler headed north.<ref>Howard A, 4150 Fund Facebook, 20 January 2018</ref><ref>[http://www.4150.org.uk/news/4150_jan18.html The 4150 Fund - Restoration update January 2018]</ref>
