12.16.09 Work Session


Ken Brooks brought one of the rider cars and Dick Clark, Ken and Steve Zaken are moving it on to our work table. Ken guides the front end on to the table as Dick and Rick Nagy keep the transfer lift from moving as Steve watches.
As I was looking over the club work engine(101) I saw that the bolster support weld was broken on this side only. The closeup doesn't show that much detail but in the center you can see the oily joint below the bolts through the frame.
Rick, Dick, Ken, Steve, Joe Banzer, Dave Foster and Lew Fowler discuss how to add brakes to the trucks and what is needed for fabricating parts. This truck has brakes but the cylinder leaks and you can't disassemble it, just replace them.
The nubs projecting out from the side frames for the brake hangers need to be shortened, drilled and tapped after the truck is disassembled, degreased and the parts cleaned up.
