A leak in the branch steam pipe of the class 24 has meant that all the smokebox fittings and the nuts and bolts have to be removed to search for the offending pipe and leak.

Viewed from the interior of the smokebox, the branch steam pipe that carries the live steam from the locomotive header can be clearly seen. These pipe have to be removed for the repair.

The last part of the pipeline, where the branch steam pipe is bolted to the header. The petticoat on the right from the chimney must still be removed to make easier working space to remove the 4 bolts.
