It only had a few minor bugs to work out. It was a very successful first steam.   Comment Entered: 5/1/2010 10:13:21 AM  By: charlie  giordano - torrance i like that engine.

Mobile welding By: Steve  Claude	Comment Entered: 4/28/2010 5:11:19 PM By: Phil  C - Torrance, CA Is that a new welder I see in the background?   Comment Entered: 4/28/2010 5:28:46 PM  By: Steve  C - RPV No, It's about 2 years old. It's a TIG/Stick machine. I used it so I could get a good weld with lots of penatration so the catch wont break again.   Comment Entered: 4/28/2010 8:58:54 PM  By: howie   - elsegundo have welder, will travel.

Just strapped it up good and hung some red flags off it. It's back in the ground now and works great.   Comment Entered: 4/29/2010 7:50:59 AM  By: tom  d -  hum when I saw the posters name I thought for a moment I was looking at a frame for a big shay ?
