2/22/2020 Work Session

Small crew at the shop today;  Bob, Paul, Al, Ron, Alex, and Dick.  Ron retrieved some of the newly primed valve gear and also worked on more of parts.  A picture of a few of the parts is included.  Primer is working beautifully.

Alex and Dick did some re-arranging in the center red container, so the second work bench is now against the wall. More work needs to be done to set up the electric shop tool.  Bob and Paul installed ceiling LED lights in the container, with a temporary, but effective power system.

Bob, Alex, Paul, and Dick worked on cutting a representative slice out of 470's cab. This will allow a metal shop in Newport to cut a pair of new sides, and curl the sides to match the old, damaged, steel, presently in place.

Paul oiled the nuts which hold the superheater tubes in place, as they've been problematic the last few times we've attacked them.
