Wanted to give an update from the front on progress on LS&I#33. I've now been here (Morgan Run Steam Shop) for two days and can report the following. There is a team of approx. 35 men working in 2 shifts(6am-12midnight) and all the vital parts are back from the outside contractors and have been successfully fitted up. As of today work is progressing simutaneously on the following; 1.Fitting and welding in place the 2 thermic syphons. 2.Installing the last 50 tubes,rolling and welding. 3.Installing the cab in place. 4.Fitting and installing the spring rigging. 5.Installing the air/water delivery plumbing. There is MUCH left to do!! I believe we have an excellent shot at completing the engine and having her under steam and at Trainfestival. I will post pictures of where we stand on this site on Monday nite! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Ross Rowland rrowland@weidel.com |
