Today it was discovered that the tamper will work without the umbrella attachment.

Depends on the operator.  One requires a parasol (plus a cup holder).

Thanks for posting the photos, Brendan.
We want...A SHRUBBERY!  One that looks nice, and not too expensive.

I was about to echo the sentiment of lack of parasol and mug in cupholder.  I then see Jason at the controls - and all of a sudden I hear this phrase from the past (Cheech and Chong)…..  Dave's not here Man ………..  :o

Anny chance those couple of sticks of rail between the garage and the track could be moved elsewhere? They made footing somewhat problematic on Saturday. Thanks in advance.

If any of you had bothered to read the operation manual you would have known that using Big Joe/Tampforce One without the parasol and cup holder voids the warranty. You think I use those for my own comfort? You would be wrong.

Does the cup holder require a pre supplied beverage for said operator? ::)

Jeff;
Due to the quirky tastes of the operator he usually brings his own. As he has many enemies (he doesn't even trust his aide-de-camp) he insists on sealed containers.

Nice work getting those sags out of the ramp track.  Looks good!

Curiosity question... why did we bring 65 back so early in the summer season?

It's mentioned elsewhere - Maine DOT is doing work at the Creamery Pier that necessitated the car's (temporary) relocation back to Sheepscot. It is my understanding that it will be put back on display in Wiscasset in a few weeks.

How are rails aligned with trailer?

Ties & all get moved? Or are you guys that good backing they do not have to be  moved.

Absolutely designed and built to "spec", as a commercial punch list might say.
Compare this job with what Chama, Antonito, Silverton, Durango have.

Perfect!

Big Joe now needs a/c, tv, stereo and autopilot ;D

Hope car barn workers get weather cooperation.
And may the Timber Bridge Builders Code guide them to usually swift, high quality completion, matching ramp track standards.  ;)

Carl...per my long-distance delivery  experience, the competent truckee is responsible for checking, safely transporting, and correctly delivering his load (with direction if necessary).
 
WW&F's ramp, track, ballast stay put.
