168 Flying Tender!!!
| October 31, 2017 09:44PM |
It was a good day in CATS country today as the new tender tank was lifted and placed on the rebuilt frame and running gear for locomotive 168. The tank was set on blocking preparatory to final setting on the deck of the frame tomorrow. The new tank is a good fit and a faithful replica of the original being totally of riveted construction and utilizing as many pieces of hardware as possible from the original as is concurrent with longevity, safety, and preservation standards. I congratulate our CATS crew and hope that all of you have a chance to come see the product next time you are in CATS country. Until then take care and Happy Halloween!
