I went up to the museum in April to charge the batteries and check the locomotives in preparation of a locomotive run May 22. I put 6 gal of gas in the Whitcomb. I charged the batteries on the Plymouth and noticed that the throttle was stuck. Evidently the water leaking from a gasket rusted up the throttle linkage. I put a vice grip on the linkage and oiled it. I worked it back and forth until it was free. I put some epoxy on the joint that was leaking. Tim and I started the Whitcomb and the Plymouth. I worked on the plymouth hand brake. Ray and company are replacing ties on the ladder track.
