Here are a variety of steam shop pictures taken from 2009 through 2011. They show the progress of various projects from reconstruction of the driving boxes on the 1630, to the rebuilding of the Shay's smoke box.

Do you ever wonder WHY steam has not run in a few years? This is part of the reason. Casting, machine setup time of parts and securing materials takes much time. PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION TO THE J NEILS LUMBER COMPANY 5, UP 428, AND to FRISCO 1630 FUNDS! The goal for next year is to have 1630 operational! Thanks Roger

No, it will not be necessary to hold any of the work waiting for the plow to be turned, end for end. Weather will be the major factor, but there will [...]
