Trolley Bus Department

This weekend was a FULL one to say the least.  We spent the previous week pulling seven coaches out of the Andersen Garage and readied/helped decorate it for the USO dance Saturday night.  The weekend itself was filled with troubleshooting (the Edmonton coach which gave us some minor problems), filming and even a little baseball.  In addition, we provided service to and from the dance starting at about 6pm until the end of the dance at around 10pm on Saturday night.  We were also able to clear out the garage and return the coaches to the building by 6pm today (Monday).  Richard Schauer was a HUGE part of making this weekend go as smoothly as it did for us.  Thanks so much Richard!!!!

The personal highlight for me had to be the opportunity I had on Sunday to fly with one of the WWII planes that were adding to the battle realism all weekend.  Here are a few of the photos.  (I’ll post video on YouTube as soon as my editing software starts cooperating).

Thanks to the pilots Steve and Randy who graciously offered to take me up to get photos and video to help promote the museum in print and on TV.

June is our target month to start on the restoration of the LA Brill.
