Nice work. I haven't begun to explore my #50 yet. Your pictures of the boiler and heater set up are helpful if I ever have to go into mine. I've slowly discovered cleaning is a trial and error process. Luckily, I think a little soap and hot water will probably be all mine needs.

I think your engine would benefit from a total restoration. After all it's obviously been used and then neglected for so long it deserves a bright future! Good luck.

I decided to go back with the black firebox and dark blue cast iron base coloration.
I still have alot of touch ups, rewiring, and polishing to do but it is coming along now.
Having to source new screws.
What do you all think of the colors. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
