Re: DSP&P No.24

As I follow it, Rick is saying the #24 didn’t get a new boiler but was built as a “one off” with a boiler that made it more powerful then all it’s sister engines. I have never heard this before and most “published” data doesn’t agree with Rick but he says he has copies of the build records from Mason Loco Works. This should be a great source of data and if it turns out to be true then I’m surprised authors like Art Wallace and Mel F. missed this. There have been errors published before so what Mr. Steele is saying may be true. I guess a visit to the Museum with the documents may be in order.
