We hope to get this car finished and painted in time for Thomas. Another item of importance, the power car we have been using on loan from THS member Rob Mangles, blew a piston during Polar Express. The THS Board voted to purchase a ‘new’ power car from THS member Ken Bitten, and in addition we will be receiving 3 other cars for our use on loan. These will need work before putting them into service, and we have yet to decide when, how and where they will fit the operation. Last but certainly not least, the M-1 had several work sessions done on it over the winter, when engine work was done, all air lines replaced, all 8 wheel brake valves have been rebuilt, and the air valves have been replaced, It is 1 work session away from being ready to ship to Phillipsburg, where the new tile floor will be installed and then returned to service. As soon as Gary has a ‘free’ day he will finish up the brake valves.
