Steve Zaken reading the wiring instructions as Joe Banzer looks over the tie points to add horn and lights. Steve assembled and painted his box cab for Good & Plenty. |
 |
 |
We had quite a food spread for todays work session. Dick Clark and Ted Nyland mounted the brake control consul to the eight foot long riding car that will be consigned to the Park engine. |
 |
 |
Bill Deptowicz brought his tie down straps and glued the roof of the box cab to the cabin structure for Steve. Joe, our engine maintainance man, adding the wiring to a head light that Steve is using for his engine. |
 |
 |
Lew Fowler looking over the box cab at how we attached the roof to the framing members so that it will be removable. Ken Brooks and Ted checking our the wiring in the hood of the Park engine to see why the lights aren't working. |
 |
 |
Ted took the light socket apart and decided that he was going to take the hood home and buy new lights and install them there. At the other end of the engine Ken and Dave Foster were tracing the horn circuit and found the the horn button was defective and needed replacing. |
 |
 |
Dick along with his friend from Indiana, Ed Fincher, worked on drilling and putting a stud to limit the swing of the brake control lever and thus the pressure to the brakes. Frank Fotis' birthday was celebrated today, hence all the food and cake. |
 |
 |
Even though we were inside a building it was still windy.......enough to extinguish the candles. Dick doing the honors of cutting the cake as Ed and Joe wait to be served. |
 |
 |
With most of the other little projects wrapped up for today we gathered around and watched the trackmaster adding vinyl lettering to the riding car. Opps! it looks like that W is a little too high, something about nerves when you are in a fishbowl with everyone watching you. |
 |
 |
Lettering designating that this control car should be riding behind the Park engine. Dick shows that he works good under pressure from all those eyes boring through the back of his head. |
 |
 |
Joe and Steve got the light and the horn all wired to the control board on Steves' new box cab. Dick finished the lettering for the clubs' brake control car for our GP38. |
