This report on No. 11 includes some fabulous news, as well as updates on actual progress that moves the project forward.<\/p>\n

First of all, we have received two substantial donations for No. 11. An anonymous member has donated $50,000 to the project, which really provides us a kick start! In addition, the Bluewater Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, located in Royal Oak, Michigan, heard about the project and donated $10,000. This chapter, which is going out of business, has sold off its collection of passenger equipment and is donating the proceeds of that sale to what it considers worthy causes. Many, many thanks to both donors.<\/p>\n

In addition to these wonderful donations, this FundRazr crowd-funding has reached about 45% of the $17,000 goal we set for ourselves. Just in July, three people each donated $1,100 or more, entitling each of them to a replica of WW&F No. 7\u2019s Baldwin builder\u2019s plate. The pattern for the plates has been made and delivered to Cattail Foundry, which is producing 10 plates for us — we\u2019re quite optimistic that others will want one. Thanks to everyone who is supporting us through FundRazr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The engineering group has developed a timetable for the manufacture of No. 11. Over a five year period, it is hoped that No. 11 will go from paper and electronic images to the actual live, steaming, operating locomotive. Phase 1 — building the main frame from from front to back, including the cylinders and rear frame castings. Phase 2 — adding the running gear including pilot and rear trucks, drivers, etc. Phase 3 — finish all foundation work including driving gear, valves and brakes. Phase 4 — boiler and tank installed on frame. And finally, Phase 5 — completion and testing of the new locomotive.<\/p>\n

\"Frames<\/a>
Frames for locomotive #11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Aug. 3, the frames and other parts made by Precision Grinding Inc. in Alabama were delivered to Sheepscot and are temporarily stored in Bay 1<\/p>\n

This month, quotations for water-jet production of parts, plus a request for quotations for production of the cylinder half-saddle sections, will go out. The cylinders are cast in two identical sections which are then machined and bolted together, thus the \u201chalf-saddle\u201d nomenclature. In addition the drive wheel centers and the eccentric cranks will be cast.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, No. 10 was recently moved from shop track 2 over to track 1, not only to provide shop space for coach No. 9\u2019s construction, but also so No. 10\u2019s boiler construction and other necessary work can continue. During the move, a rolling inspection of No. 10\u2019s running gear was performed, revealing no problems.<\/p>\n
