4266 and 4268 updates on July 24-25, 2021

 

Saturday George Small, Cory Fothergill, Eric Grover, Jordan Small and LarryKemp painted the newly installed panels on 4266. Vinyl lettering will be reapplied to those panels next weekend so 4266 can return to service. The 4266 will come in for more body work after fall and be completely painted over the winter. Anything that isn’t painted now will be cleaned up and waxed to make the unit more presentable. On Saturday Ryan Fothergill welded in the rest of the rotted walls in 4268, fabricated mounts for load regulator, fabricated sheet metal plates for around the control stand and on the 4266 replaced the rear step for crossing between units. Wayne Allen completed the copper piping to the rear of the 4268 that connects the fuel gauge in the rear to the air supply near the compressor control.  On Sunday Mark Gray wired aux generator, voltage regulator and more of the wiring in the rear of 4268.
