Every bit of 3,000F! 750+ superheat to the pistons... The NOISE is intense.....! He's got a nice big 'heel", across the back of the grates... 85% of the grates are covered in about a 2-inch deep, flat, white-hot fire-bed. He can go for miles, just like that... with a heavy train, they almost fire themselves. LOVE IT! W. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/18/23 17:35 by wcamp1472.

Date: 05/18/23 21:50 Re: Big steam ID help wanted Author: just4frost Southbound loaded ore train on the Messabi Division a few miles north of Proctor (near Duluth, MN). Engine is a 2-8-8-4.
