Narrow Gauge Railroad Discussion Forum
This is a forum for the discussion of narrow gauge and steam railroading with a primary emphasis on railroads operating in the US. While discussions of modeling are welcome, please try to limit such discussions to issues relating to the prototype.

Next week I will work on on of the cracked spokes to establish a repair procedure. Once established we will repair the rest of the wheels.
We will replace two axles that are undersize and with some questionable UT readings. #3 is OK.
John machined the R1 driving box and it came out well.
Mudring rivet holes reamed for countersunk rivets
Machined frames
R1 driving box
Old 1 and 2 axles. Note undersize of journals
#346 tender tank is complete and ready to go west. This was quite a job but it came out pretty nice. All stainless steel will ensure that the museum won't have to have a fundraising campaign in 20 years to repair or replace it. The bottom covers the entire frame so water in the coal space won't seep into the wood and rot it out like it did on the original. Hardware is original.
