Then a few other inspections take place followed by the insertion of the new tubes and flues into 3985's boiler. New superheater tubes are being manufactured at Strassburg for a January delivery date. We are also inspecting piston and rod packing at this time. Currently it is planned to have the boiler work completed around middle to late spring. The next step is to spot the 3985 for superheater installation.
Work continues on other projects around the shop also.
