Thanks Dan. That makes sense. I hadn't considered the relative "scale" of the tank - a "broad" gauge tender offers more room for such work.

As for speed, I can certainly imagine the old girl will probably go "faster than you want to." That's how I answer the top speed question when people ask about my Fairmont motorcar - which coinicidentally happens to be about 40 mph. That's awfully fast when you look down and see the ballast whizzing past just inches away.

Thanks for the work you do.
-Jeff
