A very fine job indeed and she looks wonderful especially after being in pieces for all these many years.

The comment about the tender behind the 42 being first the 317's and then the 318's before the tender that she has now, brought to mind a comment, and a question.

We know that 315 also got a different tender when she was made the Durango switch engine, so that tenders were often swapped between engines.

My question is this: There are stories about the 317 being used to supply parts for the 318 when it was rebuilt for the last time at Montrose in 1948 (or there abouts). Did anyone find any parts that could be identified as having come from 317, when this work was done?

I have heard stories that 317's boiler was put on to 318's running gear etc etc etc, and I was curious if anyone really knows what was done at MOntrose in 1948 to create the current 318.
