SHOULD BE READY TO HEAD INTO THE TRAILER TOMORROW.  LUBRICATOR HAS ITS NEW SLIP LINK ARM ON NOW AND MAYBE WELL BE ABLE TO GO MORE THEN 30 FEET WITHOUT IT BEING EMPTY.  BRAKES ARE STILL HUNG GOT MATERIAL MAKING SMALL PARTS IN LOU OF ASSEMBLY.  BOXCAR IS NEXT TO GET OUT AND PUT SOME PRIMER ON.

10-7-2014

CARS ARE STARTING TO GET PRIMER, BRAKE SYSTEM IS GOING ON THE C-21 IS ALL A SLOW PROCESS SINCE THERE IS NO DRAWINGS AND ITS A WING IT SITUATION.  BRAKE CYLINDER HAS BEEN MOVED AND NOW CAN COME OFF WITH THE BOILER STILL ON, BUT AS U CAN SEE THE BOILER IS OFF AND GETTING READY TO BE WRAPPED WITH SOME SHEET METAL.  THE VALVE GEAR BALANCE SPRING IS INSTALLED. 

NO MAJOR ISSUES THAT I CAN SEE WITH ANYTHING ON THE CHASSIS JUST FIX THE LUBRICATOR AND CLEAN AND PAINT.
