The Case needs a new box although the gears and engine etc are fantastic.
The Reeves is stripped and the boiler is at the boiler makers but they have done nothing yet. I have had pressed a 16mm tube plate, this is drilled and fitted it just needs riveting. The wet bottom was thin so has been cut off, it now needs a foundation ring made and riveted in. All outlets have new outlets welded in already. With the tube plate and foundation ring fitted it is a steamable boiler. This has been approved by my inspector.
The Zettelmeyer needs 8 rivets replaced in the tube plate, the tube plate is good, some building up in a few areas where the rain has corroded the barrel and throat plate. It has had some build up by fusible plug already done. This would make is a steamable boiler. Gears etc are free and good condition. This has been approved by my inspector.
