Train Day!

w/Rob Fair 6-7:45pm 1.75 hrs.

Getting ready to work on the crossover leading to Union Station.

We found a gap in the rails that didn't make a connection.
So we soldered a feeder wire to close the gap.
See next picture.

Can you see the wire solded on either side of the gap?

Rob Fair contemplating our next move.

I'm always amazed and I say it often, how many pieces of equipment we need to use in any given project.
Drill bits, wire, cutters, dremel tool, drill, soldering gun, more wire, more tools...etc.

I was able to work on the RR today.

Here's my project...

This caboose has been sitting around WAY TOO LONG!
Time to get it working again.

But first, I need to purchase some parts...

So I headed over to the Science & Surplus store and bought the parts I needed.

I bougth a button battery holder and soldered the leads to the holder.

Awe Right! I got it working!

Length: 00:00:08 sec.

Next I need to get the draft gear boxes in place.

Then the couplers had to be installed.

And finally, the trucks put in place.

And now I have another UP Caboose ready for the mainline!
