<p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have seen comments posted on other forums that say this ATSF locomotive has a special nickel-steel boiler, and that it is difficult or even impossible in some ways to work on because of the material it is made of. Does anybody have any information on this detail? </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even if the boiler is in good enough condtion to steam, I am guessing that some of the redesign will require modification to the boiler pressure vessle. The gas producer firebox will require multiple penetrations through the inner and outer walls of the firebox for the purpose of introducing secondary combustion air. </span></span></p>
