Sumpter Valley Boiler Work - WH Eccles #3
| May 18, 2015 09:22AM |
The Heisler's boiler tubes are in and being rolled and beaded. We had a very productive week last week! Lots more to do before a hydro, but moving right along and hope to have in service in a month or two for her 100th birthday this summer.
Inserting the 120 tubes.
Tube roller.
Rolling tubes, done on both ends. (Sorry for the photo orientation, cannot find how to rotate it)
Beading the firebox end of the tubes.
Boiler work is fun!
