    Work on 777 had been paused whilst there was a possible asbestos investigation. Now work has been restarted but the bogie is still not replaced under the tender. I think the boiler work has been done in terms of rivetting, but it still needs all the small and large tubes to be installed.

    The boiler is still outside the shed, the tender is still awaiting its front bogie to be put in place, there is more work being done on the chassis., there is no motion, valves or pistons in place.
