Engine 4 was pulled out for a boiler wash / drain to be ready for Winter.
Punching the tubes.
Running gear work - Among other things the rod brasses will be reworked or replaced.
The boiler has been marked off for testing the shell. So far the results have been good.
Work on #4 should be completed by the Spring so the engine can be in steam in 2022, we look forward to scenes like this next year.
