This past week a TRHA team got started on repairing and repainting the CLC-Whitcomb locomotive. Over Friday and Saturday we fixed all the broken or missing windows, cleaned the mouse nests out of the cab and repainted the exterior of the frame and trucks below the deck level.
.
Cranks and side rods were painted red for visibility and the tires white just because we like that look. Since the engine will be on static display for a couple of months, we made the headlights and cab interior light work on 110V. The engine hoods and cab will be repainted as time allows over the next couple of weeks.
