Greg et al:
I personally haven't heard of such a problem but then again anything is possible. It is fortunate (depending on perspective) that it happened to a fire C&O because I am sure you documented it properly
Is there any way you can send me a couple of pictures directly via email or post to a website so that we can view them. I would be very interested in seeing these.
As to you question, you might want to contact James Munger (Click Search and type his name for a private message) as I know he specializes in these types of units. He may have more information for you.
Good Luck
Chris
