Re: Lots of Work Planned for Como's Locomotive

She's the perfect size engine for the Como project. I hope the work is done. As for the wood stove; I know from experience that if you chuck the stove plum full of firewood it'll be nice and toasty....as long as your within 10' of it! LOL I rode my dirt bike to the Silver Plume shop (the one the C&S 1006 was in) when I plowed snow for the CDOH. I loaded the stove with both wood and coal and each hourly stop I moved the bike closer to the stove. NO ice melted off the bike! 
That stove is still there and that night I got it so hot it developed a sag kink on the back side! JP
