The dog days of summer are upon us and with that we do have a few projects in the works during the month of July. The first is to help Dan with some maintenance on his train to help him get prepared for our August Summer Nights run day and other opportunity to run his train. On Saturday, July 9th we will be unloading much of Dan’s train and working on trucks, couplers, air brakes, and more. If you can volunteer and looking for an opportunity to learn how all this stuff works then come out on Saturday.
While this is going on we will also have a crew working on preparing the site for the next member container. This will require removing some track panels going to the red container and preparing the ground for gravel to be delivered on a separate date.
Plenty of opportunities to come out and help around the railroad and learn what it takes to do train maintenance.
As a special request for anyone that is good with electronics and wiring will also need some assistance re-wiring Dan’s control box on his locomotive as it broke again during our last run day.
