This steam locomotive has missed it's date with the scrap yard 60 years ago. It is time to tow it into the scrap yard and deliver the coup de gras to the steam locomotive and it's fuel and water tender.
The machine should be parted up, junked out, cut into pieces just small enough to fit into the crucible of a blast or induction furnace and melted down for materials for new products.
Junk the steam locomotives!
Manhole covers or anchor chain is a suitable use for the materials recovered!
You are sick, really sick. Certainly you can get a lot of scrap iron from a steam locomotive, but is it worth it? This engine took thousands of dollars to build, and was a prized tool for it's railroad, now a prize among railfans! It isn't worth losing such a wonderful machine for a few hundred dollars of scrap metal. People treasure this and other engines far more than a manhole cover, so I would suggest you keep your mouth shut because we wouldn't want anyone getting offended, now would we?
Thank you for your concern. My doctor is medically qualified & determined I am not sick whatsoever! He agrees with me to junk the steam locomotives.
I just returned from a purchase trip for new cutting tools. On our way back we found a wreck of the Tonapah & Tidewater & tested them. The 20" water cooled, diamond blade, gas powered cut off saw cut a slice through the top sheet & deep into the boiler top easily. It will never hold pressure again.
Think what you want! No body wants that old thing, it is just sitting in the desert. I am just accelerating it's return to the earth, as well as remove pieces to send to the foundry for melt!
Right, firstly I hope you realize that the T&T has been abandoned sine the '40s and that none of it's engines are surviving. Therefore, you did none of what you said above, unless you can travel back in time. I consider you to be a low-life, lying, idiot! Even if you did do this to a locomotive, that would, of course, be vandalism! Why don't you shut up and get a life!
I am aware of how long it has been out of service. There is one steam locomotive which was abandon in place in the Nevada desert. It is in very sad shape for it is covered in graffiti, broken beer bottles & rusting apart. We just tested our tools on it & Bear purchased a gas powered chop off saw. A single plunge cut into the top to see how it would work on something like that. It is a beautiful gash Bear put into the top through the jackets just in front of the sand dome. A really nice job!

Very expensive to restore now! Junk it!

I had a great time cutting on that old thing!
