It’s a hard job aligning a big engine like that. What are the tolerances for the alignment?
@YoungstownSteelHeritage Ай бұрын
As close as we can get it. The big thing is making sure the two main bearings are in alignment with each other. If the wires are parallel to within 1/8" over 50 feet, both bedplates are level crosswise and the crankshaft is also level then I think we will have achieved our goals. I have never done this before so lets see how it works out!

Coming along nicely. I can't wait until I can come down and see this engine in person. Having worked maintenance on a five stand 56" temper mill for many years I have some idea on how much power is required to run a rolling mill. The one I worked on used 4 motor generator sets totalling 24,000 hp. I was wondering was this Tod engine used on a rougher or a finishing mill? On the five stand the steel would enter the mill just shy of 1/4" thick at a crawl and come out the other end 11.7 thou thick at 60 mph and 30,000 feet long.
@YoungstownSteelHeritage Ай бұрын
The engine operated a six stand, 24" merchant mill. That mill mostly took blooms and reduced them down to 4 to 5" rounds for the Campbell seamless tube mill.

It simply amazes me that you and you dedicated staff and volunteers are working towards having three out of four steam locomotives on site operational (in various iterations of the word "operational"). It is a gross understatement to say this is no small feat.

@YoungstownSteelHeritage 3 ай бұрын
For now it will just get a new smokebox front and be made operational. Our current priorities are to get the remainder of the track built and the Tod Engine finished. It is still the plan to make the 62 into the non saddletank version and it remains to be seen what that will ultimately look like.

You'll have to excuse me, it has been a long week! lol
@YoungstownSteelHeritage 3 ай бұрын
@@ryano.5149 Yes. The firebox was replaced on the 57 and instead of using 3/8" plate such as called for on the drawing, they installed 1/2" plate. The boiler shell is 9/16" which is about 1/8" thicker than the NBIC chart specifies for our operating pressure. The boilers were made thicker to add weight and we are the beneficiary of that decision. The 62 is even heavier with a 3/4" wrapper sheet and 5/8" shell plate. Its boiler card shows a 6.3 factor of safety.

When I first found your site I honestly never thought your ideas, plans,etc. would become a reality. All of you have worked so hard to make my doubts become lost. I worked for a steel company that their presses and forming ring mills where powered by steam. They also had a steam powered hammer. At one time it was possibly the country's largest. They where something to work around when they were running. Today only a small portion of the plant still stands. The hammer is gone, the press is hydraulic and the steam powered mills are gone. I retired years ago. Thank you all for preserving history.

Here's a question for you chaps- I've been wanting to make a model of 58 and her sisters (58 in original configuration & now), but I haven't had a single ounce of luck in finding the design prints/working drawings/blueprints (Whatever tickles your fancy). Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction for finding them, or are you just working from what you have in front of you when repairing them?
