When my kids were young, we climbed all over 470 in Waterville. Can't wait to ride when she's living again! Steam locomotives are the closest thing to a living, breathing machine!

No, we still have several years ahead of us at least. We are still in the middle of the boiler survey, then work on the boiler will begin in earnest.

What purpose does waiting a moment after the impacts serve ?

@newenglandsteam 4 ай бұрын

It makes sure that the rivet is fully set and cool before shifting the press. We work really hard to make sure that the rivet heads stay perfect!

@@TheCanadianBubba Bob (the gentleman who created this rivet press) would like to add a few more details for you. "The guy operating the press control is watching a pressure gauge. The first “Yup” means we're lined up and to start the press. When the target pressure is attained the operator stops pumping. The pause is the press retracting. The second “Yup” is to stop the retraction. The press is stopped partially extended to cut down the wasted travel time doing the next rivet."

We are still waiting for the results of the boiler survey to learn more about what will be needed on the boiler. All of the rivets on the tender will be set by hand. Check out how many rivets that involves here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rofYoa2IgL5nl6M

I remember watching a Mark 1 video about steam on the Maine Central Railroad that had no narration but had classic footage and sound of Maine Central steam at its finest towards the twilight years and even to the very end correct me if I’m wrong but if I remember correctly I remember seeing footage towards the end of the video of 470 being reversed to her display track and her boiler still had a full head of steam but she was pushed by a different train for safety I assume ceremoniously they kept her under steam before she got to her resting place before her fire was dropped if this was a completely different engine let me know

@porthuronerieproductions9980 10 ай бұрын

I noticed that 470 has a cutout in the smoke box, hinting at a Coffin Feed Water Heater. How much are you guys going to use it, and how do you guys plan to go about removing it from the smoke box itself for restoration and cleaning? Also, how much work have you guys done to the frame? It looks in pretty good shape for something that sat outside for a few decades. I wish you all the best of luck with the restoration!

@newenglandsteam 9 ай бұрын

470 was equipped with a Coffin feedwater sometime later in its career. Because of the type of service we anticipate, the feedwater heater will not be used. The heat exchanger in the smokebox will have to be removed by using an Air-Arc torch. We will use a second injector that will replace it, and it is what 470 originally had. It will be much simpler to maintain. Regarding the frame, it does appear to be in good condition, but will be inspected in detail when the time comes.
