Morning all

This is just  a fun thing'

My daughter in law is a mechanical engineer with a company that, to my understanding is rebuilding two steam boilers. (it gets a little hectic with three grandkids in the same room) After they get back from vacation maybe I can get the names of the project.

Enjoy

I think that helping to restore an old steam engine would be a very rewarding experience. Congrats to your daughter in law, or at least, to her company.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

I believe the boiler shown is Florida East Coast 148.

Casey, you are right.

It is boiler 148 and US Suger is connected with it in  some way.

Cheers
