Being a government owned loco there has been a code of silence surrrounding the overhaul of 3801. The new German made boiler didn't fit and now 3801's original boiler which was considered life expired is to be "repaired" and used once again. Many Australian heavy engineering companies bidded for the new boiler but the government chose the cheapest bid (the Germans) and ended up with a lemon. There is an old saying, quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
