Boiler repair isn't really a big deal. Cut out damaged sheet and weld in replacement. Also can pad weld a limited area on non stayed surfaces. You can pad weld more freely on a stayed surface i believe.

On 40 we replaced a big chunk of both firebox side sheets. Including replacing mud ring rivets. Replaced a chunk of the backhead including the lower half of the door ring. And a piece of the bottom of the front tube sheet that had a poor quality IRCA repair on it
