Joe Banzer,our retired chemist, concocts a special formula for the gas tank as George Woodling watches.As Joe adds the mixture to the tank George, Ken Brooks and Rick Nagy discuss the merits of the "madd" scientist. |
 |
 |
Not to be satisified , Joe adds another mixture to the tank....his madness is starting to show. Joe and George put the body back on the chassis of the work engine 101 in preparation to take it back to our track site. |
 |
 |
As the crew was loading 101 into the back of Ken's pickup, Joe soldered a new horn switch on the control handle of the club's GP38. Next we worked on the lower headlight which was losing it's ground connection. |
 |
 |
The GP38 was rolled onto the lift and Ken, Lew Fowler and Rick moved it to the pickup which was inside by the delivery door. Aligning the lift with the tailgate on the pickup. |
 |
 |
It was nice that Ken's bed liner has the ridges to guide the engine alonside of the work engine 101. Back at the track with both engines off loaded onto the lift and 101 moving off the transfer table. |
 |
 |
We loaded the Park engine and two rider cars that are slated to have brakes installed for the ride back to Hose Master. While we were gone Frank Foti continued to grind the old welds from the firebox that was cut out. |
 |
 |
Couldn't resist taking this picture of the sparks as they rolled through the boiler. With the Park engine on the table and the cowling removed, Joe and George start the service maintainance on the engine. |
 |
 |
A shot of the engine without it's cowling, which was a home-built engine when constructed. Frank, Joe and Cornelius Gould clean up and put away tools as we call it a day. |
