Here is Part One of today's (February 15th, 2022) Facebook update:
"Project 14 progress report.
It was a very nice day today, so I did some more painting. The engineer's side sand dome got the "14" painted on. I also started in on the engineer's side lettering on the tender tank. I now have to modify my stencil so that I can finish the lettering.
Little by little, the 14 is really starting to look much better."

Here, we can see the outline for the '14' on the engineer's side of the sand dome.
The finished product.
An overall look at the work on the engineer's side of No. 14 so far.
Here is a side view of No. 14 and her running gear.
Here is a POV shot from the engineer's side of the running board looking forward at West Side Lumber Company Shay No. 12.
