I got the fireman's side put together,,,,And for the first time NO BINDS . YEA!
I cant say that I had the same luck with the other side. During erecting I broke the link :o :evil: . I tried to solder it back together and hopefully tomorrow I can file away the excess solder and re drill the hole. Now on top of that I also ran out of rivets. I can get more rivets (I hope soon), but to find another link is unlikely to imposable(I hope the solder works). They came from some one's junk box and I had to modify them to work for this project. I don't think I'll have it repaired for Saturdays meet. but I'll take it any way.
No problem Jim I had no idea that there were other camelback 4-8-0's.
