[Steam-engine] Big Huber Weekend / paint

[Andy glines]

That way you can use your hat for a BBQ.  I don't know
about great strides but I can tell you how to take one
apart.  The sandblasting session was a giant leap
forward.  I have the rear wheel hubs all apart and
cleaned.  I will be painting if we ever get some dry
weather.  I plan on using IH red on this engine.  I
found some original paint inside one of the wheel hubs
and the IH red is an exact match.  There are a couple
of spots on the boiler which I'm just not sure about
and I don't know who to ask.  Most of it is in very
good condition.  I measured the thickness of the fire
flue where the soft plug came out and it showed no
signs of thinning.  Looks like I'll be learning about
babbit pouring soon.  The crank will have to be done
for sure.  I also need to figur out how to flatten the
valve seat.  A friend from the SIAM club did the valve
on his surface grinder.  I might pull the
cylinder/frame off of the boiler for this work.  I'm
still a little nervous about getting things lined back
up though.  I look forward to the day I get to steam
it up.  Knowing that I was the one who put it back
into shape will make it even more fun.
