March 15 2009 update
Hank and I worked on the Whitcomb for 3 days in March. The weather was great, temperture in the high 50's. We assembled the brake cylinders with new cups and spring. We reconnected the air supply lines, rigging and brake shoes. Two connecting pins will need to be made from 1 1/4 inch bar stock. We mounted the air compressor cylinder on the crankcase. The cylinder was from the spare engine and the air supply piping was slightly different. We finished painting the last corner of the cab floor.
