Linn thank you so much for the pics! You are demonstrating & preserving skills & manufacturing processes that most of us will never be able to see! I REALLY appreciate every bit of news about her restoration & hope some one is documenting the entire process. I understand the old welds on the frame & behind the cylinders are "junk" & there are cracks in the spokes of the driving wheels. Please keep us posted on your efforts!
I am about to head to my shop in the garage to continue working on my 2 1/2 to 12 live steam model of the RGS#20. I the rate I can work on it, you'll have the prototype restored before I can get mine running.
Thanks!
