Since July I had trouble getting the clutch on the train to disengage. When the clutch is disengaged the mechanism applies a brake to the drive shaft. I took the PTO brake out and bought a lining for it, I discovered that one of the valves in the train’s air compressor had become loose and was not working. Saturday I took the valves out of the spare air compressor at the museum. Charlie was there and helped me. Sunday morning I put the best valve in the Whitcomb’s air compressor and installed the relined PTO brake shoe. The new radiator has been holding water well. After lunch the engine started and we moved it back and forth on the track. Jim moved his speeder down past the freight house and Ray, Charlie and I took the Whitcomb down the track and across the diamond. The engine ran great running West but ran rough coming back. Monday I took a carburetor out and cleaned it.
