I am thinking they are pushing the wire a little to hard. Seems they got along ways yet to go on the project. Alot of stuff yet to assemble. Seems they are running behind on the dead line. I am getting concerned and nervous about how this turns out and being done on time.
They should be painting and test running by now I would think. It appears they don't have the cab and alot of components on yet. You know, this is a massive project. One large enough, you know there's going to be some bugs to work out once complete. That's what they should be doing now if running on schedule. The fact that steam crew working overtime, and Ed Dickens posting very few updates, tells me they running way behind. If running ahead of schedule, Ed would certainly be posting more updates. The oil convertion alone is in question, as to wether it will power itself without coal. Having flame in firebox is one thing. Creating enough steam to power itself to mobility is another. Having 200 lbs of steam sitting still is one thing, maintaining that pressure in motion is another. Iam just hoping this project pans out, and don't backfire on them for completion date. Otherwise, it may not power itself to spike anniversary, or bugs may have to be worked out after. I am crossing my fingers at this point, and hoping things work out. Hoping spike anniversary don't end up being the first test run for this beast. Just my 2 cents and concerns.
