We did perform a hydro test on the OY this last summer. It passed the test. We still have to do a careful internal inspection before we call the state(Colorado) boiler inspector. I am not particularly concerned about the machinery but there are a few things I would like to address before operation.
We need to do some body work and paint before it is ready to go. This winter we are busy with the 1472 day inspection for #487, next winter we will have to do the 1472 on #488. At this point the most likely date seems to be the winter of 16-17. I still have to figure out the way to fund this operation. It will require at least 3 functional steam locomotives to make this happen.
