Summary
[edit]DescriptionWilmington and Western Engine 92, Marshallton DE.png |
English: You can't tell from the photo, but I recall the engine was under steam at the time.
This engine, and apparently all of this batch of CN 2-6-0s had a somewhat defective firebox sheet material. It was my luck to be the one to go down to Marshallton and fire it up one saturday, and make that discovery . As always, we moved it it out of the building on a boiler full of compressed air, to lay the fire in the engine outside. As it was the reverse move back to the engine house, in the evening, was up hill with the nose down it was necessary to fill the boiler quite high to maintain water over the crown sheet. So.... Horrors -suddenly there was water on the ground, and a look in the firebox revealed it was raining in there! the air pressure was forcing water out everywhere through little cracks above, and below the staybolts. Engine hasn't turned a wheel since. Strassburg's #89, another one, of them went down later for the same reason. Very fortunately, We only had to borrow a diesel for a week or two, when #98 was finished (for the first time) and went to work. That, after two years of effort. Whew! |
