Looking good Kenneth! :thumb:

Kenneth is really coming along with this steam stuff! He is, and is going to continue to be a great asset to the hobby!

How old is Kenneth now? He sure looks like he is handling the job. Great job Kenneth!

On a side note...when is the work going to commence on the 25/85 N&S engine? I wouldn't mind sneaking on up to Fargo one weekend to see that ol' girl.

Looking over all those pictures makes me a little jealous of the experience he is getting doing that boiler work. I would love to get in on some of that type of work under someone who really knows what they are doing.

I have been a little behind on keeping up with the work that Kenneth G. and Jim B. have been doing on the boiler he was working on. This picture shows the end result. Kenneth is steaming up

Kenneth's rig looks real good belted up to the sawmill! From the looks of the weather, it must have been on Saturday this past weekend? Guess I should have stopped by to see it! How did it pull?


BTW... Would that be a box for a Dodge Pickup in the background on that trailer :confused: I wonder what that could be for?

[louie]

The engine preformed very well on the sawmill, I heard something about someone getting there Dodge pickup repainted a different box was bought so they would only have to paint the cab:rof::biglaugh:

One would think you would buy the vehicle the correct color from the start so you wouldnt have to go through all that trouble !!!:biglaugh::hide:
