Hello everyone
We had a very successful day on Saturday and accomplished a lot.
The motor for the lathe was removed from the box car, moved into the shop, cleaned out of a few mice nests, tested and is almost ready for installation to run the lathe. We have some minor machining work to do to allow the motor to be installed.
We are also looking into purchasing a tracing tool for the lathe that should help speed up the work on the wheels.
As soon as we are all set with the lathe, we will be jacking up 836 to do her motor.
Work has continued on 355 with the compressor now completed. The running boards need to be reinstalled that were removed to allow work to occur on the compressor, and routine maintenance needs to be completed. The goal is to complete this work and move 355 out of the shop this weekend and release her for service. 451 will then be moved into the shop to work on her.
There will be a lot happening this coming Saturday (04/09/11).
Work as always will be occuring in the shop. Maintenance work on 355, will be the main focus.
The track department will be starting work on repairing the broken joint in Kelly yard. Ties will be replaced along with 1 rail.
Please consider coming down to help out. If you are not sure how you can help, please email me and we can talk about your interests.
For anyone interested, the next Directors meeting is on April 13, 2011 and the meetings are open to everyone.
Galen
