These are some of the great volunteers at the Saturday morning paper recycling at the Train museum. It was a cold windy 33 degree March morning in Norh East, Pennsylvania.
I got the new TitanX radiator core from the station. After removing one of the test tanks from the end of the core, I got a group of volunteers who were working on the gift shop in the station. We lifted the core up by hand and put it in place on the bottom tank.
While they went back to work, Charley and I put in some of the bolts that connect the core to the bottom tank. I removed the other test tank from the top and got the guys again to help with the top tank. We found that the top tank weighed more than the core and we needed to get the tractor with fork lift to get the top tank up to a level where Charles and I could move it over in place on top of the core.
When we got it in place it didn’t fit right. The radiator needs to be disassembled and a seam on the top and bottom of the core ground down and re-soldered then reassembled.
