The 400 (Magma Arizona #7) has had it's running gear overhauled and new tubes installed in the boiler. It is awaiting to have an new firebox door sheet installed. Once that is done the rest of the engine can be re-assembled and put in service (about 4-6 months). The chassis is for 500 (AT&SF 1315). There is a complete new boiler on the property (under a tarp). Once Magma & is onher feet we can tear into the 1315. 1315 still needs its running gear gone through.
