Finally, three more pics for your viewing pleasure. One shows the modifications to the coal bunker - we are adding coal gates in place of the old coal boards. The other two show work being done to the water column and associated valves.

Stopped by today to get my first look at 630 since she returned, and to take a look at the work on 4501. Looking great, my thanks and props to all involved.
