Hi Eric,

Yes, we have the new forward frame members. They are real nice but will require some drilling and a bit of milling where the driving boxes go. In the last two months we have been assembling the rear frame rails with the cross members (that sister with the bolster) and at the forward joiner casting. The frame is being built in the second bay next to the 36" lathe. Work is also progressing on drilling holes in the smoke box for it's fit to the boiler. New hot rivets will be installed when the holes are done - which will happen soon.

Stewart
