Note the mud ring fit-up on the firebox. The firebox will eventually be slid inside from below and 'stayed' in place. Lots of drilling and grinding at this point with riveting coming up next. Simply amazing to see. I always leave there with the feeling that anything is possible!

Brian and Jason look over the drawings...

Close-up of the mudring...

Brian chamfering holes in the braces...note the boiler from one of the Henschels behind him...

Jason cleans up the front tube sheet with the grinder...
