Rather small turnout today, but some meaningful work got done. Bill Alexander and Paul V.S. each took shovels in hand and filled in the track extension will enough material so the locomotive can probably be moved forward and open the rear of track 7, so the new tender can come indoors.

Bill and Dick purchased a steel door to act as an emergency egress from the office container, once a set of bunks are installed. They will work towards getting that installed fairly soon. We will also put an entrance door to the office as a matter of trying to keep it less dusty and perhaps even climate controlled.

Hanna, Alex, and Dick worked scraping paint from the valve gear yoke, and hopefully will get that cleaned sufficiently to perhaps reinstall the parts in the near future.

Bob did a lot more on getting the right cab side prepped for installation. Holes were to be drilled, but a specific cutter bit was found to be missing from our drill order. Hopefully these parts can be drilled out, matched, and pieced together before July is out.
