Rick Nagy assembled the air tanks in the frames that Bill made and checked for fit in the car. Dave Foster brought drilled nylon blocks that Bill drilled the frame, tapped and bolted the block to the frame to keep the truck from turning too far in a derailment. |

You can see one block in place as George Woodling is steadying the car as Dave Foster taps the holes at the other end of the car. Dave is ambidextrous as he can talk and tap a hole at the same time and get it straight to boot. |

Rick Nagy checking the placement of the air compressor frame and deciding the air tank will have to move back. Joe Banzer is draining the oil in the engine and thinking there has to be a better way than lifting the engine that high. |

The basics of the first No. 7 switch are completed and set up against the wall.Ted Nyland has bent the curvature in the rail and is about to check it by holding it against a flat surface to check for the chord dimension as Ken Brooks watches and learns. |

Rick checks out their progress as they start the second switch. George Woodling is starting to sweep up around the area to remove the saw dust from drilling ties and the the metal filings and chips from working on the rail. |
 |
 |
Rick works on disconnecting the air hoses from the tank and regulator to get them out of the way. While this was all going on Dick Clark was changing the RR name on this car as it had been incorrectly labeled for the GM&O and the car belongs to the Park. |

 |
The second switch with all the wedges holding the ties to one side of the jig frame and the main outside rails in place as the guys call it a day. Ken and George in discussion as Joe removes the spark plug and Rick moves the air tank on the engine. |
