There is still a fair amount of work to do on HL No.2, including lining and fitting the chimney, fabricating and fitting the steam pipes in the smokebox, checking and fitting the injectors, plumbing the vacuum brake gear, and refitting many smaller pipes and linkages.   Beyond the workshop, painting and lining out in particular while take time, skill, patience and effort.
