Wednesday, March 9. 2022Milwaukee Road 33C updateProgress on the restoration of Milwaukee Road 33C continues at a slow pace. The next areas of engine room paint prep around the generators, aux gen, and blowers is extremely tedious to clean and prep. The same goes for the areas around the equipment rack, which includes the governor end of the engine, oil and fuel filter housings and strainers, lots of piping and other pieces. Here we see the main and aux generators primed and painted for the No 1 engine.
While there was some paint mixed, there were four covers remaining to be painted that go between the radiators and the engine room. Those were primed and painted at the same time, along with one electrical cabinet cover.
We'll add additional small updates to this blog as we progress through the engine room. As always, we're looking for donations to the Diesel Locomotive Restoration Fund to help continue the type of work you see here. Thank you for your support! Comments

We're slackers and spend more time working on the equipment in the shop than keeping all you readers updated. We'll work on it, but I'm sure updates will still be very sporadic.
