The usual nice work from the shop floor. So.... about those pads: will there be standard car journal sizes also? Howard P. |

Kelly, Very nice set up for the axle keyway milling, Bridgeport head on old-school planer. Dividing head looks like a full universal. Lots of room on the planer table for set up. Did you modify the planer to feed slow enough for end milling or do they have a creeper mode by default? The old planers I have seen working seem to have a very high feed rate for the traditional single point tools. Thank you for posting these, always welcome and interesting! Regards, Randy |

These updates are the best part of the board (I would mention ARR #557's updates as being in a similar vein). |

Good luck to Andrea. For those not from Pennsylvania, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is a 2-year Technical College that awards Associate Degrees. It was founded in 1905, the year PRR D16sb 4-4-0 1223 was new. It's considered one of the best 2-year Technical Colleges in the USA. Thaddeus Stevens himself was in the US House of Representatives and was Ways and Means Chairman during the Civil War. It should not be confused with Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken. Different Stevens family. Phil Mulligan |

What beautiful work. We are so blessed that there is a place that can fix or build new just about anything ( perhaps except a $ 100 bill printer) needed to make an historic icon a reliable runner. May they always prosper and maintain their high standards. Ross Rowland |

Thanks for posting...too bad(and yet good) about Andrea. How did you machine the insides of the driving boxes? Almost looks like EDM? |

Thank you for spending some of your time posting another informative update. As for the fire pits, will the bases be equipped with an ash pan, grates, and a shaker? |

I could look at these photos all day. You should gather all that you've taken over the years and assemble them on a FB page or separate website. Maybe even a book. Very educational! Thanks for posting. |
