From: "Ted Lemen" hi_jeanx -AT- yahoo -DOT- com Date: Fri Aug 27 11:57:07 2010 Subject: New pipes for Southern 401's sanders were bent around the tires of another steamer on hand at the Monticello Railway Museum, Monticello IL on August 19, 2010. Snagging one end of the pipe in the brake rigging, two volunteers wrapped it around the driver tire, later cutting the ends to fit up with the descending pipe from the sand dome. image/jpeg, 794x1359 (24bit) Bending_Sand_Pipes_a.jpg 168479 bytes |

From: "Ted Lemen" hi_jeanx -AT- yahoo -DOT- com Date: Sun Sep 12 16:24:39 2010 Subject: Last time I went to Monticello the pilot was a skeleton and mechanics were debating how to get both the crimped end and the right angle to make the boiler tubes flay out in the proper (and symetrical) direction. They obviously figured it out and the result looks perfect. image/jpeg, 1247x864 (24bit) Pilot.jpg 210719 bytes |
