Any information about the boiler would be gratefully received. I have found the following published April 7, 2014 by Dennis Wilcock -

The renovation of GWR 4-6-0 No.4953 "Pitchford Hall" is making good progress in the hands of David Wright and Locomotive Maintenance Services.

The boiler has been stripped, shot blasted and painted. A full inspection has been carried out and the work required to bring the locomotive back in to service has been determined. This work can now commence.

The boiler of No.4593 (the tender of the locomotive is not at the GCR) is seen on a well wagon at Loughborough Central on 5th March, 2014 with a full set of tubes ready to be fitted.
