    Lovely stuff. Do you happen to know how the gauge conversion was done, were the frame stretchers replaced?
    Interesting that the cylinder lagging and cladding is not yet fitted.

    Lovely beastie.
    There's a blog here: https://puffingbilly.com.au/news/workshop-blog/category/workshop/
    Does anyone know why the air pump is on the driver's side? I would have thought that thee is less chance of obscuring the driver's line of sight if it was mounted on the fireman's side. Is there some engineering reason, for instance?

    Nice to see Staff and Ticket in action at Menzies Creek. An interesting operational detail - what the Aussies call Safeworking.

    You can see bugger all out of these engines anyway which is why you often see the driver stood outside the cab. They could have put it in front of the cab window and it wouldn't make much difference.

    Very impressive job, and most interesting to follow as long as the old workshop blog was updated...

    Does anyone know if tanks and cab are widened 6" as well? Is the new boiler of the same dimensions as the original?

    Thanks for posting this - what an incredable sight. Moonbulk trestle is more sturdy than it looks! I just hope that they learn to control the smoke better as they get to know the loco.

    That is at odds with the relevant workshop blog page:-

    https://puffingbilly.com.au/news/workshop-blog/water-tank-and-coal-bunker-coming-soon/

    From the photos and videos, the tank and bunker look the same width as originally, and the wide step added the to sides (mentioned in the blog) is definitely there.
    Not sure about the cab though?

    Cab Is wider.
    The "bulged" sections of the cabside for Reversing Screw and Handbrake although included in the New Cab are actually not required do to the increased width.
