Well we are back to a weekend schedule at Steamtown so I now have the chance to get my hands dirty, and dirty they got..663 suffered a broken water pipe during the time that we were on winter hours. So it was my job to get it fixed.
In this pic you can see the broken pipe with the threads still in hole of the larger pipe where it was once attached.
But in order to reach it we had to remove the nipples that feed in and out of the oil pump. :? This was messy :? .
That's the oil pump there,, It's located at the rear of the prime mover on the engineers side. The pipe that we were working on is the one below it with the valves on it.
While we were working on that.... work was started on the new electrical cabinet install for the B-unit. We received it from NS just before they scraped it.
We have to cut an access hole in the roof in order to crane out the old one and drop in the new one.
After the new one is welded into place the roof panel will be welded back into position.
