The rest of the stoker was easy enough to find as it's on the floor right next to it's tender.
It's actually in very good shape with just some surface rust that will be removed and the metal treaded with a rust inhibitor.
The business end of the fireman's office as also in very nice shape.
This shot gives you a good look at the coal bin. The cut out in the slope sheet was done some years ago for some unknown reason. That's another thing that will have to be fixed. This also gives you a nice look at the angled entry way into the stokers feed screw.
The rerailer was welded in place on the hooks to prevent theft :o :o :o :o . Will be making this functional as regrettably, we do use them from time to time.
