In 2023, Friends of No. 9 made substantial progress on restoring major parts of the locomotive steam engine. After lifting the boiler off the frame rails last year, work started to cut away rusted portions of the steel and then replace them with new metal. Initially, estimates of the metalwork had to be doubled to strengthen the frame rails and restore the smoke box, fire box, and attach points of the boiler. The V-twin steam motor received special attention so that the locomotive could roll on rails after the restoration. These steps involved opening the motor, steam cleaning, power washing, painting and reassembling the motor and drive shafts to the geared trucks. Unexpectedly, we replaced all of the heavy-duty springs in the geared suspension trucks that mate the wheels to the rails and hold the weight of the locomotive. Media blasting to remove rust and old paint then painting with marine epoxy ensured that restored parts would look the same as the 1921 delivery of Engine No. 9 to Mill Valley. Initial design and planning to fabricate a replica pilot/cowcatcher totaled over 300 pieces of metal, wood, and fasteners. In 2024, we plan to mount the restored boiler, steam motor, tender and cab on the frame rails with all of the plumbing to complete the engine restoration.$141,575
For our work to display the restored Engine No. 9, we continued architectural designs for potential locations where the locomotive would be positioned on rails. Our three selection criteria for a suitable location involved three P's: close to the path of the historical route of the Mt Tam Scenic Railway, with easy public access especially for youth, and protected from the weather to enhance preservation.$6,742
