The cab, coal bunker, tender are ready. Trucks are being re-assembled, frame is being worked on, boiler is waiting for the frame. While measuring they found out that this 70 ton climax has wheels for a 70 ton climax but that everything is sitting in a 80 ton climax wheelbase. Latest that I've heard is that they hope to have her under steam in three years. Which means less than a fifteen year rebuild working only one to two weekends a month.
