Work Report: On Tuesday, March 8, 19 volunteers attended the work session in addition to those who attended the Events Committee meeting in the office. At the session were Mark Russell (in charge), John Bacino, Mark Bodenstab, Steve Bryce, Dennis Dragon, Ken Hilbeck, Bob Jordan, Ted Kamen, Paul Kratunis, Jerry Lucas, Tom Marshall, Brent McDougall, Tom Sandbrook, John Schubel, Bob Stransky, Dave Stransky, Mac Taylor, Dennis Tiley, and Jay Williams.
The hanger strap on the H-5 engine was adjusted by grinding a lock washer for proper friction on the steam pipe. The copper differential cover was correctly relocated, and the engine is almost ready to go back in the car. Considerable work was done on the vertical flue from the bonnet for the Model 735, as the dimensions are different with the 2”-lower boiler with its slightly larger diameter. The switches were tested on the ’37 Packard, and the rewiring project continued.
The underside of the tender for Locomotive 401 was painted and the new plastic insert was installed. This tank will hold about ¾ of the original 40 gallons, more than ample for our use. One of the injectors was taken apart and its parts soaked in vinegar. Observation car #870 was prepped for touch-up painting. On the Lionel train layout, a newly-rebuilt transformer was tested, and more track connections were improved. Our original Lionel Locomotive 390 was tested and runs very well again after its rebuilding. Work began to clean out the grease rack room in preparation for removal of the lift to give us another much-needed storage area.
On Wednesday, March 9, five volunteers attended our first afternoon work session. Richard Bernard was in charge with Bill Schwoebel, Jerry Novak, Mike Ciosek, and Tom Marshall helping. Mike installed about a dozen new ties on the Auburn Valley Railroad. Richard and Bill fired up the Model 735 and repaired several small leaks in the fuel system. The new boiler tested out well. The oil pump was set back and will need to be checked when the car is next run. Jerry continued cleaning in the grease rack room, and Tom completed the installation of newly made truss rods for the frame of the Model CX.
On Thursday, March 10, the following 11 volunteers were on hand: Tom Marshall (in charge), Jim Personti, Geoff Fallows, Bob Jordan, Ted Kamen, Jared Schoenly, Steve Bryce, Tim Ward, Emil Christofano, Brent McDougall, and Tom Sandbrook.
An attempt was made to install the bonnet and down-pipe on the Model 735, but the dimensions are not right, and it appears that it will be necessary to fabricate a new vertical flue (down-pipe). Drawings were made for this purpose. On the A.V.R.R., paint was touched up on Car #870 and on the 401’s tender, and water screens were cleaned in the delivery lines from tender-to-injector. The “Diesel” was partially prepped for its upcoming use on March 25 and 26.
The old wiring harness, in terrible condition, was removed from the front section of the ’37 Packard. With all the bare wires, it’s a wonder that things worked at all. The new truss rods on the CX were removed and painted. Rods on the H-5 engine were center-punched to hold their proper adjustment. Engine parts and gears removed from the Model 87’s spare engine were taken from the shop to the attic for storage.
