#4483 in the 2010's |
September 2016
October 2016
On the 17th, we bolted the two pieces of the cylinder jacket sheet metal to the locomotive. The 3/8" speed nut clips on the lower sheet lined up perfect with the holes in the top sheet. All 20 threaded holes got a dab of "Permatex® Anti-Seize" before the stainless steel bolts were screwed in place. Thanks to Mike M. for the use of his pneumatic offset flange tool. |
June 2017
Over the summer of 2017, work continued on the fireman's side cylinders using the same proceedure we used on the engineer's side. All the old bolts were drilled out and the holes re-tapped for the new 3/8" stainless steel bolts. Both the inside and the outside of the cylinder cover was primed and then the inside painted. The following week the cover was bolted on. |
Spring - Summer 2018
All efforts during 2018 were turned to getting Buffalo Creek #43 ready to run. Everyone worked on last minute details getting the diesel engine ready to start. This left no spare hands to work on #4483. |
