If you ever have a flat spot on a driver of your steam engine. I bet these boys can fix it!

This series of links will walk you through a simple job of truing up the drivers on a steam engine. That is a very BIG steam engine. The work was recently being performed on the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle No. 700 (4-8-4).

I'm including a link to their home page that includes some wonderful photos of the 700 and the SP Daylight 4449 (4-8-4) together amoung many other great shots. This also has info and photos of a recent derailment of both engines when double heading a Christmas run last December. Engines and train OK, track toast.
