Our regularly scheduled workday is this Saturday, February 22nd, with a focus on performing major track repair on the east loop of the railroad. We need to repair about 100 feet of track, which has large gaps between sections that limit the ability to use the railroad. The day will start a little cold but will warm up, especially since we will be working in the sun. Make sure you bring lunch, tools, and a good sense of humor.

Please note that this track work needs to be done before our next Club Fun Day, which is Saturday, March 1st. If we have a large enough crew, we may have a couple of people split off and work on finishing building the curve switch for the “Grandma Line” project, and if we get really lucky, maybe even install the switch. That is a big maybe.

North Georgia Live Steamers want to wish all of you and your special someone a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Big progress on the clubhouse and workshop project this past Saturday as the crew, which consisted of John, Scott, Kenneth, Tyler, Robby, and Norm, finished electrical, finish painting ceiling and walls, and installed lights. The crew also placed clamps on the two containers in preparation of sealing the containers together. It was determined container two needs to be moved a little before the clamps can be fully tightened. Until then container two needs to have several items moved out and placed in the blue container in order to make room for work to begin on cutting out the inner walls and insulating container two. Dates for the next workday are being planned for February so stay tuned for details.

Speaking of February our next club meeting will be Saturday, February 1st at the railroad.

A workday is planned on the Clubhouse and Workshop project this Saturday, January 25th starting at 8:30 a.m. The heat is running, and container is warmer than you might think inside. The plan is to work on electrical and finish painting the last bit of walls and ceiling in container one. Over the next several workdays we will begin getting container 1 and 2 ready for fastening them together and removing the interior wall. In case you haven’t already respond to the clubhouse workday survey that was sent out a few weeks ago please do so we can make plans. The official push on the project starts February 1st with the hope of having the first two containers attached and opened up before our first run day in April.
