Annual work is always need on every engine, Tenders have to be separated, the drawbar has to be tested for cracks, boiler interior inspected, staybolts hammer tested, throttles usually need a little bit of lapping, every 5 years Flexiable staybolt caps must be inspected, this is usual winter work, every engine needs it. Never a dull period!
