The boiler identification plate of B-class No.788, built by the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow in 1913.

I’m not sure what P.O.H. refers to unless it is "periodic overhaul." In that case, 31.5.09 must be 2009, not 1909 as I first presumed. A locomotive maintenance plan seen at Kurseong shed shows that he boiler is indeed original – and the only original boiler in the B-class fleet.
