This blog come to you in real time ...This week is devoted to support projects and other work. Welder
Dale Mace and El Dorado Western Railway president
Eric Stohl are building a large A-frame steel storage rack. Lead machinist
Sam Thomson and
Bill Rodgers are working on the "Rube Goldberg" while
Ken and
Scott Romine continue cleaning the journal boxes to
Arnold. And young
Logan is helping where needed.

Dale use a 14-inch chop saw to cut old boiler tubes into section for the A-frame. The tubes were used in the Diamond & Caldor No. 4 Shay last time it was steamed in 1997. We are using them to build the A-frame because they can no longer be used in the boiler.

Dale and Eric use the first frame as the template for the second. They're welding in the engine house, close to the generator.
