My thanks to Ed Lecuyer for putting my pictures back into the April 22nd post about lengthening links by forging. The pictures were in that post right after I made it in late evening of April 22nd, but were gone when I looked this morning, replaced by boxes with "Photo not found." Gremlins are about, I guess.

10 stripped down and spotted in bay 1 to remove the boiler for repairs.





Cab was pulled using the overhead cranes in bay 2.

Brandon,

Does your picture comment 'remove the boiler for repairs' mean that we know which way we are going to proceed to repair the stay bolts?  Or, does that mean we are going to proceed with more testing of repair methods and information gathering?

The boiler was lifted off in bay 1 today and moved over to the machine shop. One of the spare passenger trucks was used as a shop truck for the boiler.

Great pic sequence.
Two questions...
<how did you get the passenger truck on the south end of bay 1?
<why was the caboose involved?

The truck was brought over to bay one last week when we were moving ten over from bay two. We had to park the truck outside in front of bay one on some 2x6's until we needed it today. Bay one was full with 52, the caboose and 10 in that order. The caboose was involved because it was already coupled to 52 for weekend work train service.

Gotcha. Thanks.
Thought maybe the caboose was a spacer, like how they load/unload carfloats .

And it looks like Mr. Snow is taking it easy over Sheepscot, the Big Storm missed youze guys.  :D

Maybe now is a good chance to get some pictures of No. 10's Stevenson valve gear.

I know I am a nit picker.....but I think you will find it is Stephenson valve gear.

Keith should know, he rebuilt the eccentric straps for the last overhaul, and they have
served very well.
I am going to guess that Jason intends to install a drip oiler for the straps on 10. They are
one of the more difficult places to get to.
It shouldn't be too difficult to copy the one in 9.
Yes, I'll volunteer...
