From the Shops of Wasatch Railroad Contractors...

1. Merry Christmas! We hope everybody enjoys this wonderful season and makes lasting memories with friends and family.

2. WRC is in the process of building a new boiler for a 3-foot gauge locomotive. This German-built boiler was delivered to WRC about a year ago, and after a careful survey, it was determined to build a new boiler to meet FRA requirements.

3. We have done a significant amount of boiler work to Georgetown Loop No. 12.

4. WRC is also building two boilers for 15” gauge railroad locomotives. The boilers are designed specifically for kits provided by Hillcrest Shops. (One is almost complete as shown below...)



5. WRC is beginning production of ten (10... yes, that's right TEN!) new boilers as replacements for Cagney Class D and similar locomotives. These boilers will be built as a mass production, with slight modifications tailored for individual customers who have placed orders.

6. WRC looks forward to meeting many steam hobbyists at the Cabin Fever Expo next month.

7. We had a great trip to Switzerland in October to work on the 141 R 568, and now have finally processed the many pictures. A complete trip report with many pictures is on our website. (Okay, okay, the 141 R 568 is not narrow gauge, but we did ride a narrow gauge electrified light-rail train up into the Alps for sight-seeing. Read about it here.)

Details of these projects can be found at [projects.wrrc.us]

While we will not discuss certain details about our clients, we are still happy to engage in any civil discussions on this forum concerning the projects themselves. Feel free to ask!
