Re: CTL&F Locomotive Glenbrook

I am finally getting this re-size the image thing down.
This is the Glenbrook boiler, shot from what would be the front of the locomotive. As you can see the barrel is off the boiler and the rear tube sheet is out. The dome is partly riveted in. The edge of the new liner is just barely visible inside the wrapper.
This is obviously taken from the side and shows the new rivets for the liner below the dome and some of the new rivets in the dome flange. This boiler has the oddity of the wrapper being flanged up into the dome hence the rivets in the barrel of the dome.
The dome was removed to facilitate the installation of the liner and to allow for the replacement of the rivets. The original rivets were iron and the heads badly corroded. The fastenings in the barrel of the dome were patch bolts which are to be replaced with rivets as soon as possible as stipulated by code.
