CSPL have issued Riley’s with authority to start work in the deconstruction of 2807 boiler and work started straight away!!
The old smoke box tube plate was removed, this
involved cutting around where the longitudinal stays were secured.
To remove the tube plate the bottom of the old
front barrel section had to be cut.
The next picture shows the team at Riley’s working on the front barrel section in readiness for its removal and
replacement.
The ends of the longitudinal stays and the
remains of the tube plate can be seen inside the front barrel section.
In order to enable the section below the Firehole door to be removed, these are the stays inside the firebox that need careful removal first
