Finally, Maine has decided to grace us with some sunny and warm weather!!

This weekend, work was mostly focused on preparing the shop for the upcoming work on the cab and tender. Roger continued with needle scaling various rusty small parts so that they can be painted and returned to the tender. Paul cleaned up the neglected air riveting hammer that had become rusty, wire brushing and oiling it up. Ready to be put to work now! The crane was fired up and the welding/fab bench was relocated to allow work to be done on the lower portions of the replacement front cab walls.

A few office improvements were made. Bob and Paul arranged all the office furniture and moved the refrigerator and drafting table into the office. They also created a mobile dispensing rack for the Mother of all paper towel rolls.

In attendance were Bob, Roger and Paul VS.
