We have a small 54 ton 2-6-2 locomotive located in Virginia City, NV. We are engaged in a lengthy legal battle over maintainence of said locomotive. Can anyone provide me with names and method of contact with qualified people/companies that can do this work? The main problems are in the firebox where the crown sheet was allowed to run dry wile being fired. There are also running gear repairs needed. These repairs will need to comply with FRA standards, and allow the locomotive to obtain the proper certificate to operate. I am sorry to be somewhat elusive about all the facts until the case is heard in court early next year. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks M. K. Tackett Feather River Shortline Railroad |

Probably the closest and most qualified people to you is the Grand Canyon Railway. http://www.thetrain.com/home_about.cfm |

T.R.A.l.N. (Tourist Railway Association INc.) is a good place to start a search for qualified, reputable companies. Also A.R.M. or Association of Railway Museums.http://www.traininc.org/http://www.railwaymuseums.org/Home.htm |

I went to your web site, and am curious as to why the FRA wants your firebox joints converted to welded from rivited? Is there grooving or star cracking around the heads?I get antsy when inspectors start "recommending" repair procedures. |

Try Paul Boschan at Boschan Boiler and Restoration Inc. in Carson, CA. They just finished up the Disneyland #5 and are starting a major boiler job for the Fillmore and Western.http://www.boschanboiler.com |
