What ABOUT the "stoker assembly and valves"? You ask what was removed from 3985 in order support 4014.

No, all the coal burning/firing stuff from 3985 was saved. Unless the current manager/supervisor there them in the scrap too.

Yes. But the return bends and ball-ends that fit into the front-end throttle/superheater header are castings & forgings, thus pretty expensive to have remade.
