Beautiful warm summer day with no rain for a change! Bob and Brian attacked poorly executed rivets on the cab wall, and removed them so that they can be redone. When they don't pass muster, they can be re-done. Next, they drilled the rivet holes for the new cab side window arm rest brackets and fitted them up with temporary bolts. Bob did some grinding and cutting on the cab roof vent frame. The smoke box petticoat made a fine work rest!

Jim worked on the loco's chassis, removing the never ending accumulated crud. Finally, Brian got quite a few cleaned up parts primed and painted.

We gave a number of shop tours both before and after train departures. A chap from England was very interested in what we were doing, along with a couple from Arizona. Never know who you will meet during the course of the day!

Only a few more weeks until Touch a Train. Do come pay us a visit!

In attendance were Jim Armstrong, Brian Herbert and Bob DeWachter.
