The holes for the boiler tubes are reamed with a reamer and prepared to receive the new tubes.

A view from the cleaning hole at the backside of the firebox. At the bottom of the picture one can partly see the fusible plug. Inside the horizontal tube the axle fixing the boiler to the frame is situated. In the top one can see the holes leading the steam to the whistle, the governor and the fan.
