Steam's Up


Well today I test fired the recently overhauled Chloe Locomotive. I picked this live steamer up in a partial trade for my last locomotive. This engine had not been given the proper care and feed that is needed for a steam locomotive. The boiler tubes were damaged from running low water and most of the mud ring was plugged up from improper blowdowns etc. Anyhow you can go to my photo album and check out the photos. Next week I will track test the engine and see how it performs.
Until then...

Hey Jeff
Nice blog. Your engine looks great! Glad you stopped by the last time you were in the Reedley area. We're running the 13 the next 3 weekends, come on down for a visit.
