Re: 488’s First Revenue Trip of 2022

Dylan,

Many thanks for your response and I totally understand and support the goal of preserving the way things were done. Much of my commentary was fun speculation, and like many engineers I am undeniably excitable at the thought of applying some of my experience to steam locomotive design.

I would like to say that such changes wouldn't force a deviation from historic practices - there is no "modern technology" and the same materials and fabrication methods would be used. You would just calculate dimensions using different knowledge and equations.

Thanks again, and 488 looks just great. Can't wait to see it in person next week.
