Just thought you guys might like a couple pictures...
I'm the Superintendent of the Northern Central Railroad in New Freedom, PA. Some of our passenger coach stoves needed replaced, and we decided to go with Chubby Stoves. Even though they're not a railroad stove, they look really close to some stoves that were used in the 1870's, which is around the era steam train that we operate. We have gotten two installed so far. We love them already, and Larry couldn't be a better guy to do business with.

Very Nice!!! One thing I would consider doing though is; reverse the stove pipe joints. Hate to see all your hard work get covered in stuff coming out the seams. Let it go in the stove instead. Nice Job!!!

You & me both on that Scott. Might seem like a PIA, but in the long run, worth it.
