Progress continues on #20. Ron has the tender trucks pretty much under control. We need to order two tender springs to complete the job. Erich has been working on axle designs for 1 and 2. I have been welding staybolt holes on the wrapper, Richie is working on the tender air reservoir, Sam, Mark, and Blaine are just about to assemble the tender tank for riveting, and Sparkee is making the #2 driving axle.

Richie welding stays in new tender air tank. This tank will go inside the original tank for cosmetic purposes.
Tender tank fully prepped and ready for tar paper, assembly and riveting.
