Where the flues start...

Just to be a litttle bit nit picky.    Technically No. 10, as a saturated locomotive does nt have flues. It has boiler tubes. Superheated locomotives have large i.d. flues into which the super heater elements go.
Just a fun fact.
Keith

Were any of the main two engines superheated? I can't recall.

A job well done by all involved. Starting the new year right. I have a question, please forgive my ignorance. Now with the train brakes seemingly working and getting installed on equipment, how will this change railroad operations?

great to see the work on #10 going along so well. I am assuming that she won't be ready till 2025 at the earliest, not for this Christmas?

sorry for the lateness of this, but I originally thought I had screwed up the video, when I actually messed something up in Premier. So here is the video from the Civil War Event. https://youtu.be/1km0svPDH4c

I attended the photo event on Saturday. As per usual the museum put on a hell of a show. I would like to acknowledge Kevin Madore for the great job he did managing the show and Dan for keeping us moving. Great job everyone. Here is the link to the photos. Video will be up sometime this week.

Would be a videographers dream to see 9 pull one of those up the mountain extension

I know this may violate the rules, but I couldn't resist;

I'm not sure how enthusiastic I would be about coal infused gin, though.

I'd attend

The cars and transportation are currently estimated at $66.000 - which is the goal of the social media fundraising campaign. The total cost is a bit higher, as we are sharing shipping with Edaville - who is also getting one ballast hopper and some other equipment.

any hints on what equipment Edaville is getting?
