Hello everyone,
I have a few updates to share about BOTH of the Reading T1s.
First and foremost, the Reading & Northern has released an update on the 2102's restoration, which appears to be very close to completion. It appears that the engine has been torn down very extensively, and a lot of major work was done. The hydrostatic test is to be completed this month, followed by reassembly of the engine and its return to excursion service.
For more in-depth information, check out the video and article below that the R&N put out yesterday.

Now, moving on to the 2100, we released a new video update about a week ago showing the process of forging the new staybolts for the firebox.
Our staybolt fundraiser is still ongoing. For just $10, you can sponsor the forging of a brand new staybolt in the firebox!
