@@RailroadStreet dumb question. Does that rolling ingot design have any real advantages .. Besides less wind resistance.. I bet it'd do favorable in a wind tunnel test ...and I'd think maybe it's more durable... and it's flat sides more easily armored perhaps for millitary usage .. because maybe tomorrow's engine should resemble that one ?

The Hot Metal Bridge that these engines travelled over Mon pulling torpedo cars is still in use. We were told that if one of the torpedo cars full of molten steel were to fall into the river, the resulting explosion would have been unbelievably devastating.

Fwiw, I worked at Homestead Works. It featured two gauges, standard size and narrow gauge. The narrow gauge was used in the Structural mill and the Open Hearth #4 area. Standard gauge was used in the structural mill and everywhere else. The 160" mill slab yard dinky is on display in the Waterfront. A narrow gauge ingot car is on display at the south end of the Homestead Grays Bridge.

It was a very special day. Highly recommend it. Thanks, Rick!

It was closed in the 1980's and all the jobs were outsourced to other countries, The Southside Works is complete gone, replaced by retail, office, entertainment, residential and riverfront parks.

Fantastic ! I really learned a lot, your explanation of how the steam engine worked answered all the questions that i had. Like how the smoke stack chugged faster when the pistons speeded up as the used exhaust steam was expelled up and pulled the smoke out with it. I thought this was a waste of residual steam that might have some recycle value? Couldn’t the smoke exhaust be pulled out with about 1/3 of the amount of steam?

This is a very interesting little engine. I don’t think there’s anything like it anywhere. It weighs the same as a 100-passenger airliner at max weight but it’s the size of a Ford Transit. Is the tender an original accessory, or did you build that to make it more convenient to keep her running on your railway?
