What a journey Gil!
Thanks for sharing.

Love to know the backstory on this #50 Gil.
It’s looking really good! The paint & wood are beautiful!
A minor project delay.
It appears I need to move the firebox and chimney stand about 3/16" further away from the engine.
I drilled the screw holes larger and pressed wood dowels into the holes.
Now I can re-drill them all in the better location.

Hi Jim, Reply #7 has all the info I have on it.
Moving right along....
It's been a lot of work over a long period of time.
I am happy to report the finish line is in sight (a few details remain).
Below is a photo update.
Enjoy,
Gil
I located the original heaters which you can see in the first post on page 1.
