I would love to get started on the Climax but now that the #7 is running we have torn down the #1 (Dixiana) It will get flues, Engine manifold repairs, a new floor in the cab, frame repairs, a wheel swap,cab repairs, a new tender deck, and a new rear end sill.
We are about through the tear down and it is now a BOFC (boiler on flat car). Here are some pics.

Shows engine and cab sitting on flat car outside shop. Note #7 in background.
Shows locomotive from the rear. Rotted end sill hass been removed. Note Heisler in the background on the left #7 can be seen in the background on the right outside.
