[Steam-engine] Fw: E.H. Wachs Steam Engine

[Richard Strobel]

>From Mr. Soeldner, the president of the E.H. Wachs Company

Now what do I want to ask him?  H.P.  Color, Especially a paint code,  As 
the tag is missing does the S/N appear any where else which might 
x-reference the year?

Anything else?

Take care,
RickinMt.

Thank you for the pictures of your steam engine.  It constantly amazes
me that there are Wachs Steam Engines out in the field running.  We have
limited information on the engines, mostly in our company museum.  The
Wachs Company is 121 years old and the present owner and Chairman is the
4th generation of the Wachs Family.  I am the first non-family President
of the company.  The Company stopped making steam engines in the 1920's.
Presently, we manufacture industrial pipe cutting and beveling equipment
for large diameter pipe.  We also make a line of valve turning equipment
for water and gas transmission lines used by municipalities.  If you
could let me know what you are looking for, I will give it to one of our
people to research and get you a copy.  Once again, thanks for your
interest and the pictures.

Dear Mr. Soeldner;
  My friend and I have acquired an ole Wachs steam engine and boiler.
It
can be seen at:

  We plan on restoring the engine and will run it on air for the time
being.
To your knowledge, is there any information available on these engines?

Thanks in anticipation!
