Six volunteers formed this week’s Saturday work team today. A number of our volunteers were away enjoying the railway excursion in Guelph which was announced in an earlier news posting. We were able to clean up and get a first coat of paint on the engine space of the Elwell-Parker crane. This is possible because the engine itself has been removed (see picture above) and has been sent away for some long-overdue maintenance work.

Meanwhile, others worked on our miniature locomotive. The cylinder lubricator is now piped up, the boiler insulation is in place and the boiler jacket installed. In the picture above, we see that the locomotive is looking great as it nears completion.
