This past Saturday I took some pictures of the entire tender. Not much work was done that day, however, as the Hostler Model Railroad Club had their annual auction on that day and half of the GSRLHS members went there to sell food (proceeds went to the 223).
Compare the image above to the one
here.
Two weeks ago, the day I wasn't there, the coal doors were installed. These are the originals, and most of the rust has been sanded off.
I also took pictures of underneath the frame, no small feat as there is only about 2 and a half feet between the floor and the beams, and I wasn't dressed to get dirty. I'll post those on a separate thread.
