CRRM: 346 Steam up April 19th
- Thread starter Klinger
- Start date
hey,klinger, I too noticed the wrong number on the short time tender for the 346,and from the looks of it,either the original tender repair maybe pending or RGS 20 was in strasburg first but whatever the case,her original tender was better, I certainly did not expect them to do this!

Klinger may I ask, is 346 still in the green paint?hey,klinger, I too noticed the wrong number on the short time tender for the 346,and from the looks of it,either the original tender repair maybe pending or RGS 20 was in strasburg first but whatever the case,her original tender was better, I certainly did not expect them to do this!
Yes, still green, but the cylinder jackets got painted black last year. So I think they may be thinking of repainting her again back to black, but I have not heard anything official.
The new Stainless steel tender is one of the next projects, the trucks for it will come from the old Water Car thats now on the RGS 20 spur, it sat on the hill above No Agua for many many years. The original tender trucks are shot, and would need new wheels, which is not the case on the water car, so its the obvious choice. Of course, that means jacking up the water car and removing the trucks, which is why its not yet done. Maybe during the work sessions next week, but don't quote me on that.
Ill be at the Work Sessions next week, so Ill take some pictures

johhny cash hurt is so powerful it just want you to cry about milw 261 fate.:'(
do you know matt bown from extreme trains?:wave:
No.......But it was suggested at one point to have Mike Rowe come out a do an episode of "Dirty Jobs" at either a museum with an operating steam locomotive, or one of the tourist railroads. But his producers declined, since they had already done an episode aboard a steam ship, and they thought it was too similar.
Next steam up is the Saturday before Easter, 346 will be running. Come into the roundhouse and have a look at Rio Grande Southern Business Car Rico, Ill post some teaser pictures later today

matt bown from extreme trains and mike rown from dirty jobs should make a series called america steam railroading with the title card with 90 blowing it whistle for fairview crossing.
EBT # 15 IS OLDER then RIO GRADE 346 EBT 15 was built in 1914 during world war 1.

This obviously proves you're a troll, no one would actually make that mistake.
Unless...
MATT bown
Matt bown from extreme trains went to steamtown and work on CN 3254 plus shovled coal in to the 3254.

There's the other option, but it's unlikely.
Matt B(r)own is a bit annoying. My Friends who work with NS couldn't wait to throw him out of the cab when he went around the horseshoe curve,
hey im the train master of my lycoming valley railroad in trainz.
and that has what to do with the topic...?hey im the train master of my lycoming valley railroad in trainz.
you know an NS engineer that drove the coal train during the filming of extreme trains?
