[Steam-engine] Buckeye Progress

[Terry Welch]

Since Rick sent a update on the Tod project. I thought I would send one on our big project now. The Buckeye vertical that we moved out of the Milwaukee Solvay Coke Co. was insatlled on its new base in May. We did find, that when they took down the building they bent te valve rods. They have been straightened and are ready to go back on. While we wanted to try and have it running for our show Labor Day Weekend it did not come to be. We found the valve was stuck. With a lot of tender care the valve is now apart. This engine has a different valve as it is kinda like one used in some cars years ago a round slide
valve. Lots of soaking and gentle pressure finally it came apart a couple of weeks ago. It is a one day at a time project.
