At last the smokebox faceplate is on the 19D. The FOTR regulars are at work with the finishing touches. Ben, on the top of the smokebox, is ready to connect the headlight, while John, Tom and Gabor potter around

Wonderfull to see progress at last. So sad that there are so few who have to do so much for so many.

It's often said that the most useful tool on a steam engine is a heavy hammer...
