Bob Ristow reports:

“Taking advantage of the heat being on in the shop, Jim Baker, Carla Larsen and myself worked most of the week between santa trains and finished removal of the smoke box ring and rivets. Laid out the front flue sheet, worked on the new ash pans, cleaned the shop a little and took photos and dimensions of various WC&C #1 parts. These included the check valve flange and deflector, smoke box front and door, and ash pan assembly.”
