Bob was able to lay out the lines for the cab rear windows, then cut them out with his plasma cutter. Cab is shaping up.

Dick ground down some corrosion on the badly affected brake beam which Leverett has been putting considerable time into repairing. Note the comparison photos of the corroded area and where it has been repaired. That work continued today.

Roger needle scaled a completed brake beam then primed it for installation.

Ron and Hanna worked mid-week, as did Jim Armstrong, and opened the Detroit Mechanical Lubricator for cleaning and assessment. The ratchet turns on a cam and rolls beautifully. The tiny pistons for pumping oil have been carefully laid out and numbered.

The new replacement seal for the tender brake cylinder has arrived and been attached.

Paul V.S. very carefully cleaned the threads on the second brake beam. It appears Maine Central's answer to "Lock-Tite" was to simply peen over the threads. The severe corrosion and rust on the nuts and bolts was cleaned away to facilitate inspection and further work.
