The engine is pretty much coming apart except for frame, cylinders and boiler and that unit will be blasted. It needs complete disassembly basically to get the new paint in the areas where its needed.

A lot of bits are going to be replaced including the cab, tender wood, beams and jacket. Basically no wood on her is good. Then we are doing some repair work to stabilize the damage of some corrosion.
