Corrected copy: Strasburg RR N&W 475 is fixed!

[NW Mailing List]

 According to Strasburg's press release, the step pilot is there to match 475's appearance when it was contemporary with 611 in original service, since they are running 611 this weekend.

 They are keeping the smokebox door with the biased marks , BUT… they have been using the step pilot instead of the boiler tube pilot.  Was that ruined in the “incident” ??

Apparently, the headlight put on 475 was a spare Strasburg had on hand, but I facilitated the purchase of the NOS still crated headlight at Gaithersburg for the Strasburg. They had ordered the drawings the Archives have on the headlight on Friday, and when I saw the one in the crate felt like this was an opportunity for them to have a spare, and I did not need another one in my house!

It was stock from the AC&Y according to the seller. It was picked up on Sunday, taken off the show on Friday.

The headlight was in a wood crate, never used stock from at least the 40's. More details may be coming from another feller!

Amazing photos of the work they did on N&W 475. The engine is back and ready to go. The first photo shows it fired up to pull a train. Yea! 
It’s neat to see WHO did the work and how they did it. I understand the headlight is a replica they had on the shelf.
