Jim Armstrong worked on needle scaling and priming the disassembled #1 truck brake gear.

Clayton Nowells came down to get more information regarding a second brake line under the tender frame. Leverett was actively rebuilding some seriously worn brake beams for the #1 truck. Bob DeWachter took some time to manufacture a pair of square-headed steel bolts for hte brake beams.

Timm Steele brought a guest in for a short shop tour, which is always good for our friends and visitors. Dick did two two tours , one of which was impromptu, the other scheduled.

The big show today was Hanna, Kerri, and Bob riveting the rear walls of the cab. Hanna placed the hot rivets, Bob ran the air hammer, and kerri bucked them flat. The session went pretty quickly, but proved tiring for all participants. Important note: When we start riveting the tender there will be a call for volunteers to come up and practice using the air hammer and bucking iron. We'll send out advance notice, but please respond if you are capable.

Kerri also provided us with another top of the line hot lunch with cookies!
