June 14, 2008 - With all the heavy grass at the museum site, the mowing deck for the tractor needed some welding done to beef it up. Two of our members were so happy, they did the welders mask jig.
June 5, 2008 - The track extension in front of the locomotive was finished today. Our track gang is getting really good at this....
June 1, 2008 - With all the rain that the area has been getting, it was time to start the deforestation on the museum property again. Also started today was the extension of the track in front of the locomotive. The Museum will have more equipment delivered the year and there needs to be space available for all the cars. [Top left photo] Believe it or not, there are trees in the grass. The Museum planted trees along the fence line on September 3'd, 2005 (see past events). The grass is growing so quickly, that they can't be seen. [Top right photo] One side of the track extension is completed. [Bottom photo] The Museum's tractor gets some service done at the beginning of the day.
