Re: Famous Author?

Kevin, I believe T&P 316 needs a new firebox. Earl and/or Everett can elaborate. It has something to do with the boiler being constructed to the wrong specs such that it can't expand/contract correctly. After a few years of use, the incorrect expansion/contraction has begun to rip the stay bolts out of the firebox. At least, that's my understanding of the issue.

At the moment the TSR is on life-support (having been run over and dragged by IPH). The railroad will be fine in the long run, but there are some rough days ahead and no funding available for the work that 316 needs.


[EDIT]: I saw Everett's post below after I posted this.
