This weekend, volunteers worked to remove the front of the cab. While we were hopeful that the front wall could be saved, the steel was too far gone to be used safely. As we have done with the sides, the original steel has been carefully removed so that it can be used as a template for the new steel.

We are preparing to lift (or pick) the tender onto its frame in the coming months. This requires careful planning to make sure the crew and equipment are safe. New angle iron came in this week which will be used as anchors on each side of the tender. Volunteers cleaned up the angle iron in preparation for the next step, tracing out and drilling the required boltholes.

Lastly, we finished cleaning up the shop from Touch a Train by putting away the headlight and moving the tender frame back into the tent.

Present were: Leverett, Paul VS, Tim, Hanna, and Robert
