Vanderbilt Tender for Mikado

8/21/9 - Welding on the Top Walkway Brackets

-

This is where the fireman climbs up and fills the tender from the spout of a water tank. Four brackets are cut, drilled, tapped, and welded in place. Then wooden planks are fastened down.

Shown here is the completed walkway. This is aromatic red cedar. Wonderful stuff to cut and drill. Too bad this is all going to be painted black.
