Lots going on but only one pic for now.. We just took delivery of a new compressor / compressor coupling from a CF-7 that was going under the torch. The coupling will be used on 663 to get her back up and running, and the compressor , or parts of, will go into the B-unit. Speaking of the B .... The bad injectors have all been changed out, water pumps replaced, most of the main cabinet has been cleaned out, Starting contactor / circuit installed ( as well as the kill circuit) and tons of inspections completed. We need to replace the battery cables and one cable from the starting contactor to the main generator. After this is complete we can put power to the unit to check the various pumps, switches, relays , and contactors. As long as all that checks out ok, we will attempt to start the prime mover. We have put lots of work into getting the engine to rotate freely after its 42 year slumber, and at this time it bars over easily by hand.

Today I was supposed to run with 664 on an excursion to Gouldsboro, but old man Murphy had his way. BLDW #26 broke down yesterday so 664 had to take over the yard shuttle and leave the excursion train to one of the DL Alco's. So I was no longer needed on the main.

Here is the DL rental unit backing down to our train so we could take over the yard shuttle.
