Great shot Stephen!  We watched that fella run around in the field across from the shop.  Ya know, we've talked about putting rail in south of Cross Road ... well, the grade now has moose tracks.

Stephen,

I assume your visit to my shop has influenced your vocabulary.

It's hilarious that you should mention it Bernie...Jason came up with that one on his own. But after hearing it I did explain the phenomenon you are referring to!  ;)

Stephen,

Mine originated with Bob Kimmel when I started putting some of my super-fine finishes on some of CNJ 113's jewelry, parts, and patterns.

Great shots Stephen-- love the perspective of Roger firing, and the kids faces in coach 8.  On the first trip shoving back, there were two girls googling at No 10 out the back window of coach 8.  Going up Davis Grade, I noticed them take notice of the coupler/chain area between the coach and engine- this was immediately followed by a particular 'chink chink' sound of safety chain scuffing rail.  So I stopped, restored the chain connection, and thanked the girls for their attention to detail...

Stephen,

You have probably heard this at least a million times, but you have a great eye. The pictures of those kids in the window and Roger are really great!  Thanks for posting them

Wow. Great pics. I love the one of the 10 with the big cloud of steam. For some reason seeing pics of steam like that have always fascinated me. The other shots are also good, like the detail shot of the ash pan. Looks amazing and so big. :)

Duncan,

     The moose didn't find any eggs ... he was hiding them.  Moooove over Easter Bunny, the WW&F has the Easter Moose!

Work for weekend of April 29 - May 1: This is the Spring Work Weekend.

* Stewart's in charge of painting the car shop.  As he noted, painting is likely postponed (although it appears Friday & Sat will be sunny/in the 60s)
* Steve Z is charge of the Coach 8 roof repair - although this is going to be postponed too, as it needs to be above 50 at night in order for the adhesive to cure, and it will not be that warm at night.
* Dana's in charge of track work - AC south switch tie replacement, track building for the 'north yard', ballasting, etc.  I don't think this will be postponed.
* Jason is in charge of machine shop work: drilling on #9's smokebox, fitting up of #9's frame pieces, work on #10's ashpan, work on the railcar's rear axle.
* Rules review & emergency procedure presentation at 1 on Saturday.  Location TBD.  Could be upstairs in the car shop, or downstairs in the house, or somewhere else!  Even though the emergency procedure presentation is mandatory for conductors, I'd encourage all to see it.
* Sue is in charge of feeding the troops.
* Linda's in charge of the gift shop.

Hope to see y'all there.

Work done on the weekend of April 29 - May 1.  This is a general list and not all-inclusive.

* Coach 8's roof was easily peeled off and the top layer of plywood removed.  A new layer of plywood was put on and screwed in.  The plywood was given a coating of clear epoxy, then the next day the canvas was applied to the roof and more layers of epoxy were put on.  The top layer is red.  It could use another layer of epoxy, this will happen on a dry Friday some time.  The coach is spending the week inside the machine shop as it requires 50+ degrees to cure.
* The new siding was installed up to the top of the grade and the switch is now in service.  Some of the 33# rail from last year that didn't get pulled apart was dragged down and deposited on the siding.  The entire siding was given a coating of stone and gravel.  No allowance was made for future switches on the siding, I'm guessing ties will get replaced with switch timbers when the time comes.
* The switch timbers on the AC south switch were replaced.
* Loco 9's smokebox holes have all been drilled.  The smokebox front was put on, and the headlight and stack were put on for photographs.  The cab was given some attention and more of the old paint was removed.
* Machinists Ed G and Bruce M were busy in the machine shop working on pieces for #9 and for the railcar.
* The folks in the kitchen (it's not just ladies anymore) put out great feasts.  The Roberts played for us on Saturday evening.
* There were numerous other little projects going on that I did not catch.
