I’m sorry I wasn’t totally clear earlier. The frame is broken just behind the steam chest. You can see the porosity in the break area. I may just leave it for now to get it running. It might be fine. On the plus side, the boiler cleaned up nice. This is just with a delicate washing. It’ll be better after waxing. The motor runs, wheels look solid but bith axles are bent. Will try to straighten them maybe in my lathe or will have to get new ones. I don’t know how I let this sit for probably 10-15 years without getting back to it.
Dennis, I will take a full set of pictures of the Hudson and send them to you. As it is sunday I have the time to do it.
Sorry but i did not realise for your frame. Cutting would be a good solution, you shortened it a little and it would be hard to notice it. I think i would reinforce with a metal plate on the underside.
Standard gauge is always nice to work on it and it is a great pleasure to see it running.
