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
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.
