Hi all,
A few pictures of the action at Larson Welding on 9 Jan 2016.
Ray drilled and tapped a lot of holes in the Port Huron boiler. Here he is getting set up to drill holes to mount the left hand driver.
Ned expalins some facts of life to Louie.
Three crews working on the Port Huron. Holes are being drilled and tapped for the right hand driver. Another crew is drilling and tapping holes on top of the boiler to mount the engine. A third crew is cleaning parts.
Mean while in the other bay of Jim's shop parts are taken out of a trailer and cleaned.
The original steam dome will be put on just for appearances. The bottoms of the rivets were are gound smooth, then spot welded so they won't fall out.
More pictures coming.
