Alden Burns, Cully Richard, and Paul V.S., worked to remove the left side air tank brackets, meaning both the left and right sides of the boiler are stripped insofar as we are capable. Small milestone in this. We need to photograph and label each remaining lubricator line before dropping them and putting in storage.

Truck #1 has been further disassembled and the individual parts require needle scaling. This truck sat under the coal bunker, and the acidic water did it no favors. We'd like to get these individual pieces scaled as soon as people can be available to assist. We have three needle scalers available, and cleaning them now will make priming, painting, and assembly, much quicker when things warm up. March and April are just around the corner!

Tim Steele made a terrific donation in the form of a safety shower and eyewash at the far end of the shop. Presently this is on a gravity feed reservoir. If we get water piped in this summer, it could be available for washing as well.
