Just a quick thank you to Bob G. who organized the Fall Festival. He did a great job! Things went very well at AC with the pumpkin patch, face painting, pumpkin carving, apple bobbing and kids games. Pony rides were provided by our neighbors, Rosewood Stables. The Model A hay ride and Model T railcar rides were very popular with people waiting for rides. Both the Model T and Model A were started numerous times and ran well all day.
More on the railcar - Towards the end of the day, one of the T's lifting jacks failed as the car was being lowered. It was facing north so we raised it again and turned it south. We then lifted the car with track jacks and remove the turntable foot. The broken jack shaft was retracted (by hand) by Mike Fox and wired up so the car could be run back to Sheepscot without fouling a switch or crossing. The lift assembly will be removed and re-engineered to make it more reliable.
