South Park,
What really amazes me more then anything is that when we started this project about 7 years ago we had very limited experiece most of the people that helped had never done anything like this, few had some knowldge Coker hade some experience on locomotives I had lots of experience on heavy equipment and a few had some mechanical experience, at that time we didn't get much help from the D&S so we were kinda on our own.
Now I think we have a group of well trained people working on the 315, we have an age group from mid 70's to my grandson age 10 who work on it, we all do a little bit of everything and get to know what is what and where it goes. Our Cheif Mechinical Officer worked for Chrysler and I think he now knows more about steam then cars.
So I think over these years we all learned something and had a great time doing it.
