[quote user="Dr D"] The only place I know where an entirely new boiler for a steam locomotive has been constructed was in China when they were build brand new steam or when the British reconstructed the Toranado class 4-6-2 Pacific.[/quote] As a matter of fact, Southern #401 (At Monticello R.R. Museum, Illinois) received a new-build boiler several years back. The boiler was made in St. Louis. While it is expensive to make and ship, it is far from lost knowledge. We are fully capable of making locomotive boilers in the US. I think many don't realise this because "new-made boilers" are associated with the Tornado and other European engines. Makes me proud to have a St. Louis-made boiler on 401's frame.
