COOLING PROJECT
After wraping the muffler one of the next projects for the SP#177 was to open up some of the molded on castings to allow more airflow. The exhaust casting is the first victim. Click Here for photos and a description of this project
Muffler Project
MUFFLER UPGRADE
The SP #177 is getting a new muffler. Years of use have taken its toll on the old muffler. Also I will try to reroute the exhaust and wrap the exhaust system to protect the Fiberglass shell. Click Here for photos and a description of this project

SP W/V CABOOSE
The Shasta Pacific Wide Vision Caboose originally built in 1986 by Backyard Rails was involved in a near tragic rear end collision at Over the Hill Live Steamers in 1988. Repairs have been made to strengthen the ends and it is currently in the paint shop erasing the bad memories. Click Here for photos and a description of this project
