The Alcalde &
Coalfield Shops
No.7 Front End
When Mr. Dietz brought us #7 he said
he wanted her to look like the day she left the factory. #7 had
lost her headlamp long before we ever saw her, and as these old
style headlamps haven't been made for forty years we had to make
our own. Mr. Vawter showed a picture of one to old Clarence down
in the sheet metal shop and asked if he could make one. Clarence
said, "Just get me a picture of what you want and I can
make it, I remember how them old lamps were built and I think
we still have a mechanism that will work." About all that's
left to do is to paint her and she will b ready to go. I think
Mr. Dietz will be pleased.
