Earl-
Sapp and I were wondering how many are working on the CML #3 besides you and Butler? We are deep into restoring Sierra Rwy #3, 1891 Rogers 4-6-0, at this time (new boiler, new tender cistern, complete running gear overhaul, etc.) with two full timers (plus Sapp) one part timer and we've been at it for just over 1 year now. The pic is us last year at this time as we removed the final two sets of wheels using the drop table.
Nice to see another Heisler about to ply the rails. Good luck on the final hydro.
