Each week we get one step closer to the end goal of having
4268 fully functional and Fra compliant. Today we removed, repaired and
installed new door handles on 5 of the carbody doors inside and out. Several of
these door handles were custom made by Adlake and just arrived last week. Wayne
finished mounting support brackets for piping over the rear rack. He also
troubleshooted the fuel lines which appeared to have a leak at a union . Mark
gray connected the remaining wiring for field shunt circuit on the main
generator, cleaned contractors and got the locomotive to roll over on it own
for the first time in over 40 years! We hope to be able to start the 4268
within the coming weeks. Jim Hamlin was in today keeping the shop organized and
he mounted some remaining plates on 4268. The headlights marker lights
and number lights were all lit up today as well.
