    My understanding was that PRCLT had enough on their plate keeping Sutherland in top class condition without doubling their work load and expense.

    Most likely, although there are rumblings about 46203. We shall see, but I thought it worth considering.

    I just looked at the update at the PRLCT website. There is now a picture of the superheater elements completely installed. I also appreciate the picture because I know of another locomotive that had its superheater elements cleaned recently (5 or 6 months ago).

    So does having clean superheater elements help speed up an overhaul?

    They are new superheater elements, not 'cleaned'.

    I've always wondered what the half-cylindrical indentation in the boiler cladding half-way down the boiler barrel and above the running-plate mounted mechanical lubricators is for. Can anyone enlighten me?

    I remember reading somewhere that it was to enable the lids on the lubricators to be fully opened.

    My that sounded like a train to me. I hope someone could make a video of 6233 with this music in the background.

    I think 46228 was replying to my post (No. 506) but quoted Bulleid Pacific at post 505, hence the confusion.

    No worries Sheff. At least Bulleid Pacific now has the answer to his question!

    Just a quick question - Does anyone know if the locomotive has been fitted with trifurcated superheater elements, as I'd heard that at the last overhaul bifurcated elements were used. I guess in its preservation career there's not much to be gained, but the superheat temperature will be higher with trifurcated elements.

    If you go to the site and look at Mays updates there is a picture of the new superheater elements .
