In many ways, the Tenacious project was a group effort. My steamer friends who build scale live steam locomotives locally helped me with design, casting and machining. I have learned so much from all of them. We designed and fabricated the VFT boiler in 2006, I took delivery of the bare hull in the Fall of 2007 and was steaming by late spring 2008.
