FunnelThe funnel received a major overhaul in 2002. The outer skin was patched and rivet tops were welded on to make it look as original as possible. It received a complete stand blast and a fresh coat of paint. The internal flue will eventually need to be replaced as it is in poor condition! A funnel cap which works in a butterfly fashion can be opened and closed internally from on top of the boilers, using a lever and pulley arrangement.
