Commentary about volunteering to overhaul the 200 hp LeRoi engine in a Whitcomb switch locomotive for a non profit museum. I got it running in 2009. TitanX Donated a new radiator core in 2011. Plymouth locomotive arrives 2014.

I met my son at the museum at 9:30 am to paint the body of the Whitcomb. I used a wire wheel on my angle grinder and knocked off the loose scale and rust. My son painted the upper portion of the cab red as it was originally. I rolled the cab and hood. We went over the louvers with a brush. We took a break about 2:30 and got lunch at Burger King. We finished up about 4. Later my daughter painted the number on the side. We plan to put a logo on the cab sides and safety strioes on the front and back. Ray and Steve coupled the Whitcomb behind the GE 25 ton for wine festival weekend
