Looks great, Bobby. How does the overall chassis look so far, lol?

Time for my semi annual update photo. As you can see work has progressed. I am a good track builder, a fair machinist but a really lousy blog writer.
Re: Boston & Albany K6b Pacific
Great to see an update. Did you have to alter much to fit those cylinders to the frame? For example particularly the height of the cylinder centerline

Looking good Bobby. Hoping to see your progress (in person) in about a month or so.
Re: Boston & Albany K6b Pacific
Thanks Don, looking forward to seeing you all in February.

Berkman, The frame I used is a water jet frame that I recessed slightly to seat the cylinders. I am fortunate that Bob Dean did all the engineering for me when he was building his Erie Pacific.
