Today (10/4/2024) the number 1 traction motor blower was
reinstalled and rewired on the 1741. The locomotive was brought outside to test
it. Some more paint modifications will be made before this locomotive is done.
At this point, the bathroom floor and toilet need to be installed, flooring
installed in the cab and cab heaters need to be connected then 1741 will be
ready to bluecard! All donations help keep this project moving forward and we
hope to have it ready for the fall trip! Also listed is the number one traction
motor blower.
