Since oregonkramer "spilled the beans"

I will share some photos I took today..  This was the first time since I moved back to Portland that I have had time to get down to the ORHF "Square House"to work on the 4449.  I was a go-fer and then put Christmas Lights on the engine getting it ready for the "Holiday Express" trains.

I see the 49 has swapped places w the 700. Is there a reason for that other that ease of switching in adding the tender? In other words, does this spot in the house better suit the fire up for some reason?
Thanks for the pics!

She's off the peg.  WTG Doyle and crew, good to see baby waking up.

Possibly because she is now over the drop table also?

Congratulations on the completion of the 4449!  And, beautiful  shop, floors that can be eaten off of!

Does the other side have a pit, but no table?  I've only been there a couple times and can't remember- and I can't quite make it out in this included photo of the 700.

Can't remember either.

Ha!  Okay- fair enough.  Maybe they used the 190 to spot the 49...

No just one pit

Ya gotta get up pret-ty early to beat Martin's post .....

Hard to believe a 15 yr. rebuild was able to take place in such an open, clean place. I wish my house was half that clean! Great work folks, I look forward to getting up to PDX one of these days.

RE: "clean house"......we try to be inviting to the public.....in addition to a restoration shop we are a museum.   Arlen

You all were very nice and went out of your way to find the right person to answer my question about the super heater when I was there. And yes the floor was clean, liked the souvenirs one fellow made out of the left over parts from the rebuild way to go.
