This past weekend was a little slower than the other weekends, though
that was due to the weather more than anything. IT 415 had a broken
controller top on the #2 end repaired.
While the one subway car that received the new trucks the other weekend was over the pit for some work.
Work
continued on the Cleveland PCC, and on the Baldy. It is a long and
tedious process sometimes, of course more volunteers would speed some
of the work along.
Later in the afternoon the other NYC subway
car received it's new trucks. The process went a little smoother,
having already had the practice on the previous one.
Sunday
brought a whole different picture in the morning at least. NSL 749 went
over the pit for some work before we had three waves of heavy rain come
racing through. By 12:30, the rain had mostly stopped and the rest of
the day was clear. Work also progressed on the CTA S105 engine, and the
Michigan car. (see above note.)
Respectfully Submitted,

7009 number boards look good. Is there a way to turn a locomotive around at IRM? In case you ever had a mind to connect 7009 and 6847?
