The boiler was for a customer who wishes to remain anonymous.
You can just see #20's smokebox through the doorway to the left.
The engine block belongs to our 1926 Plymouth gas-mechanical switcher, the only engine ever bought new by the Strasburg Rail Road. It is a straight six Climax engine, 1,200 cubic inches, overhead valves, one single barrel carb, two spark plugs per cylinder, about a 3 to 1 compression ratio. 0 to 60 in forever.
Here is a shot of the boiler above after completion.
