Sounds serious, Jeff, so if they modified her Firebox design, the only way to improve more steaming capability would be to put Thermic Syphons in her like 491 has, that would be a major change for her. When I was last in Silverton I photographed the heck out of 493, it will be interesting to see what changes she will have once she reappears from the shops. And this will be a major awesome movie to watch if they do one like they did with 482.

Still a Student,

Dave
