Here are the pictures of our progress on the tender, and perlite car 73.
Sorry I didn't take any pics of the loco, new tent, or the birthday BBQ/fundraiser. I was to busy working, eating, or checking my raffle tickets.(Didn't win anything)
You can check the C&C website to see the tent here.
Here we see the oil and water tanks back on the tender frame.
The freshly rebuilt rear tender truck is back where it belongs. Also not the spacers between the tanks and frame. Originally this was wood, the new material is that plastic/rubber composite lumber. This should last longer.
Here we can see Randy working on the feed water lines, while Sean is working on the brake cylinder.
This is the Perlite car with two fresh coats of boxcar red.Note the small hatch used for unloading.
