Work done week of September 18.
Harold finished machining two additional components for No 11’s rear truck, then proceeded to clean and prepare the new (to us) lathe.
Quentin (typically a Build11 volunteer) finished facing the vacuum pot half shells and began drilling their bolting flanges.
Jonathan coated 5 additional vacuum pot rod seal bellows.
Jerry, Carlos and I continued with the J&S truck re-work. (We’ve had some inquiries on this- we are reworking the trucks to ensure the swing motion works correctly when loaded. This was not the case when we test fit the trucks in July.)
Dan and I switched out the yard and moved No 7 in preparation for its return to Portland. We also performed the weekly riding track inspection.
Randy, Brian Whitney, Dan, Jeff Verney and I realigned the most severe alignment deviations at ToM, using Jeff’s excavator before it leaves that site.
Eric, Ron, Seth and Lou continued paint prep work on coach 9.
Randy attempted to mow AC. It was too wet.
Fred mowed around SS.
Bob L came in for a planning session for continuing work on No 10.
I spent today preparing for Saturday’s rules class, including issuing the newly revised rulebook.
Brendan spent the week in the new NW parking lot, as Jeff and Jay fed material.
Linda was in for archival work several days.
I saw Cindy and Stewart off and on- I’m sure they were busy.
I apologize if I missed anyone.
