Will the tender tank have to be re-lifted in the CRF and then properly attached to the frame? Is the CRF equipped to handle that?

Thanks for another great video, Roger.

The tank is setting on ties so we can fill it with water and check for leaks. Between the backhoe, front end loader, and jacks we will be able to set it directly on the frame. This will probably be done outside, not in the CRF.

Thanks for the information, Marty. It's great to be able to hear news directly from you.

If you have the time, please keep us posted. Many of us are anxious and excited to see the old girl under steam. For me, it will be the first time.
