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.
