Re: RGS #20 frame

Linn,

We just had the new tender drawbar for SRY#3 delivered last week. It was cut using water jet because a flame cut could have induced warpage or a twist. It came out very nice, just some enlarging of the holes for the pins is left.

We also took delivery of the tender cistern steel. Many of the rivet holes along the bottom row and the vertical rows along the ends on all the sheets were cut out using water jet to minimize the amount of time spent with the mag-drill. Riveting should begin in 2 weeks, should be like a 'big train kit'. Yippee...
