Peter repairing oil lamps to light boiler water gauges
Jim starting work on a valve rod tail support (for HC 38) .....

Steve moving more material .....

It seems that Andrew has handed Jim a repair puzzle

"Peter repairing oil lamps to light boiler water gauges"

I've never heard of such a thing. I hope we get to see them again when they're fitted!

In low light, the lamps enable ready viewing of the boiler water level with a glance from fireman or driver.
