What a wonderful "Save" of a hacked up example of the biggest Wilesco.

I'll bet you didn't describe nor show 1/10th of the effort this restoration cost you.
Thanks Daniel , your intuitive wisdom is always so spot on...lol , yes there's a lot of work I didnt bore people with , it took me 4 hrs to fill that corner piece in to my satisfaction , or the several hours chucking up each individual rail support and polishing each 3 times apiece ...ect. I was grateful the boiler heaters tested out ok , otherwise she would have been relegated to a life in pieces in a box. This was by far the hardest project for me to stay focused on. Glad to be free to do something else now.
