Hi everyone,

I was only able to stay at the work weekend for about an hour.

A couple grain trucks were in the shop to get painted. A couple pictures of the scrapers at work.

Notice the mower in the back of the truck.

Dec D.jpg
The painting has started.

Dec H.jpg
The truck on the right is the truck in the first picture. The sides were taken off to that the front could get scraped and painted, too


Dec K.jpg
The mower is coming out.


Dec F.jpg
This is the bottom of the gearbox for the mower. The seal needed to be replaced. Before I left, the new seal was in place.



Dec J.jpg
The running gear for the Ortner Train. The boiler and cab were removed at the round house.

I am not sure what all the plans are for the Ortner.

Hi again,

More pictures.

Dec P.jpg
Roger and others were installing a new master cylinder for the brakes on the International truck.

Dec M.jpg
More of the truck crew.

Dec L.jpg
It looks like Jeff wasn't playing well with the others.

Dec I.jpg
Other than I believe it is a planner, I don't know anything about this project.

Dec N.jpg
Another view of the planner.


Dec B.jpg


Notice the square pieces of steel on the floor toward the back.
Dec A .jpg
These square pans are to put under the steam engines to catch the ashes when the ash pan of the steam engine is being cleaned out.
The corners had to be welded and handles were welded on the sides.
