Jim,

As usual you are well on your way to completing another beautiful restoration! Can't wait to see it running on a SGMA layout! Consider having its SGMA debut at Trainfest 2013 in Milwaukee this coming November!

Bob, I'd really like to join you in Milwaukee...I'll check on it.

Dennis, Boucher (and Voltamp) used cast iron frames. Carlisle & Finch used wooden frames. The reason for the wooden frames was to electrically insulate one side of the loco from the other since they ran on two rail track. Voltamp used insulators in the wheel hubs rather than a wooden frame.
