Klondike Kate 4 Progress June 2026
Author: cozephyr

1 - Klondike Kate #4, 2-6-2, dry pipe at front of boiler in Como Roundhouse, Colorado, Saturday, 27 June 2026.

2 - Volunteer was cutting metal in front of Klondike Kate #4 Saturday, 27 June 2026.

3 - Volunteer had propane heater positioned in #4's firebox as he wanted to heat backhead area to seal boiler from leaks.  Water for hydro-static test was added to #4 last weekend (21 June 2026).  Another step forward in Klondike Kate's restoration to becoming an oil burner.

I thought she had been worked on and was in operating condition when they got her? Or was that a different engine?

Same engine, but the repair work was done by a shop that, uhhhh...it had to be redone almost immediately. 

Cheers, Dave

Como member here, It''s amazing what you guys can do being rather remote with limited tools! Can't wait to see it steam up!
