That brass corrosion looks fantastic. She did an excellent job - incredibly realistic.
Someone needs Brasso and a rag, and needs to polish the crap out of that brass. |

I like the Locomotive Works tag. Perhaps "Wyoming Locomotive Works"?
I've founded a Werke myself, so rather fond of that expression. |

Looks like we blew the EDF we were going to use for the whistle.
![]() I ordered another one last night, and it should be here tomorrow. We won't be getting the whistle going this week, as it's a short week(spring break Friday through Tuesday), and my robotics student is leaving early for Track. We are working on firewood for the tender right now, and the custodian is busy getting more cables installed. |

Just strap a freshman inside the boiler, and he/she can flow the whistle whenever an electric shock is applied.

I just got off the phone with "Kristen" from Union Pacific. I wanted to make sure my email wouldn't be trashed out of fear of a virus with all the attachments. I sent her photos and some links to the videos of our progress so far. I failed to get a hold of anyone in Cheyenne. Either I had the wrong number, or they don't really want to talk to anyone on the phone.
![]() I got a response back from her shortly after and an assurance that she would pass it on to internal stakeholders across the company. We will see if anything comes from it. ![]() |

One of these things is not like the other... ![]() The real problem with the tender is, the suspension is the later version for a coal tender, not a wood tender. If we are talking about the squished top spring, they grew a little when they absorbed the black paint. It definitely isn't perfect. ![]() |

Coal would be a better tribute to WY, but the smoke stack just looks better on the wood fired trains, and of course, that's the most important thing. ![]() ![]() |
