We have also added a few of the missing stainless steel kick plates under and on the door of 664. We still need to drill and tap some of the holes to finish the job.
I have also completed the rebuild of the governor plug and restored the cover for the starting cabinet. They are now resting on the work bench in my garage. I didn't take any pics of this as it's the same thing I recently did for the "B". Plenty of pics on this a page or two back in this thread. The floor replacement in the engine room is nearly complete on the engineers side, the fireman's side will be next.
In the Cab of 663 the heater core has been replaced with a new one. It mounts under the "dash board" on the fireman's side. I'm not too keen on the plastic pipe fittings, but I have been assured that they will be fine.
We have also just received delivery of some new wheelsets for the pilot truck of the B&M steamer that is also undergoing restoration. The rest of the truck is now being rebuilt and is in all kinds of pieces, all over the floor of the shop.
