This is the fourth video in my series about restoring this 1925 Vulcan steam locomotive. This episode includes: repairing 2 of the old cast iron driving boxes, having a new driving box fabricated, installing and machining new crown brasses, making new driving box wedges and adjusting bolts, and assembling the wheels to the frame once again.

Thank you to Abrasive Blast & Paint (Nisku Alberta) for the use of the crane, and for blasting and painting parts for the steam locomotive.

Thank you to the Gerber boys for the help on assembly day, and for some video footage of that day.

I had about 346 hours into this project before I started filming this video, and as of the end of Dec 2025, there are 535 hours.
