That's the plan, 611 is in fairly decent shape, just requiring new flues and repairs to the intentional "vandalism" done by the short sighted management of Norfolk Southern when they stopped their steam program.
I'm really looking forward to seeing UP 4014 in steam, a running Big Boy, never thought we'd see the day.
I saw the news on Bill Smith this morning Oldblue, very sad indeed, but he'll live on in all the great memories he helped create.

It looks like I will need to have my power steering electric motor replaced, junk yards want about $50.00, local mech wants $98.00 to install, chevy dealer chargestocalibrate $105.00 so looks like that is what I will have to do, chevy dealer wants to change $500.00. There is NO RECALL for this.

Don.....
Thanks for that posting from NHTSA. I made a copy and inserted it in my HHR car folder (where ALL info related to my car is kept). I suggest others make a copy as well, for reference if and when they have a problem. It may help when taking both to the dealer.

Question ESP electric motors what do the Chevy dealer do with the failed motors, I would guess they are rebuilt and installed on the next HHR or the other ones that use that motor, when I had my generator replaced it was a rebuilt by the Japanese Mfg. that makes both of them. Man do I hate GM.

Jay, take a look at this Official US Government document. Please read the "remedy" section carefully.

Jay....
can't understand why you didn't find the REMEDY paragraph. I even printed and have the entire Campaign Bulletin handy while typing this. It's the third item. AND THE LAST SENTENCE of the Remedy paragraph pertains to you....it begins with "Note:".
And I think you are confused on the intent of the Remedy. The ending of your stated sentence is incorrect.
Oh, and if it's rebuilt so what.......by one of your posts, you stated in your experience the rebuilts are better than the original. Must be that syndrome again
