When we had a moment we took a walk over to the EX-Seaboard Sw-1. This engine is mostly complete with only a few things that need attention for her restoration.
One of the things that are in need of repair is the water tank. It leaks and leaks and leaks. In order to get it onto the Steamtown property the worst of the leaks was plugged with a pencil.
Her wheels are very thin, and her riveted air tanks need to be replaced with welded ones. Other than that, she is in good working order.
Most likely she will be repainted back to her original purple and silver paint. This project will be a joint effort between the ARHS and Steamtown.
