Build 11 – February VIDEO update.
Here’s the dramatic video of the pour of the first cylinder half-saddle casting for No. 11. This took place on January 5, 2022, at Dakota Foundry (aka Anderson Industries LLC) in Webster, South Dakota.
During the second clip, you’ll hear the man pouring announce that 1800 pound of molten iron was poured. Notice the gasses igniting at various places around the flask during the pour. Also note the man aiming a device at the pour. It’s a pyrometer to measure the temperature of the hot iron.
This is tangible proof that the Build 11 Project is real. Your donations to www.build11.org and the WW&F Railway are making No. 11 a reality!
