Brake Wheel, Plenum Frame, & Finishing Doors - Power Car Ep. 4 

We're working on doing video updates for the both the 442 and 786, but unfortunately our time is limited. But here is some work that has been going on as of late. On the 442, the rear truck is getting close to being finished and getting reinstalled beneath the engine. Also, our volunteers have been doing a thorough cleaning of the inside of the locomotive, repainting the interior, and cleaning up rust damage. The battery boxes are being rebuilt, too. With both the 442, the Power Car, and general maintenance on our passenger fleet, work on 786 has been slower, but we've managed to accomplish a fair bit. The frame and wheels have both been repainted and we are prepping the rigging and machining the rear piston heads and cross heads in order to measure the piston thrust. This will allow us to make critical measurements regarding the shoes and wedges.
