Just wondering what happened to the parts removed from this elderly 2-8-0 when it was restored to original appearance at Topeka? Not sure how many of them might be usable on other incomplete locomotives, but some might. I think the previous tender went to the Smoky Hill group just south of Kansas City, but wonder about the pilot truck, smokebox front, appliances, etc.. Anyone know? |

Most of the unused parts from the modified components were trucked back to the KSHS in Topeka from the Western Railroad Service restoration shop in Sonora, CA. I think the only major parts not to return were the pilot wheels, which are of a split/bolted tired type that is likely illegal now. We had to replace with faux paper-core pilot wheels (and a blind #1 driver tire if you can believe that!). I doubt it lasted in service that way for long in 1880. |
