Looks like you have been busy. I'm glad to see everything is coming along. Good work! Look forward to getting that trolly on the rails right behind the other trolley.
Yeah, Shane, we lifted it onto the trucks today to check clearance and coupler height. Tim and Bob have been very busy! The seat upholstery looks awesome!
@StanFerris I am very excited to see to it finished. You all have done amazing work and deserve a pat on the back. The railroad won't be able to function without you all.
Great video Stan. So relaxing watching. I’m sitting on my front porch watching this, drinking my morning coffee, and at the same time listening to a Reading T-1 4-8-4 at the yard on the bottom of the gorge (Lehigh River) I live in. They brought it over yesterday to stage it for a passenger run this morning, up the gorge past Scranton. While your video was playing it was chugging up the Panther Valley to the next town over, where the railroad (Reading Northern) just built a new station, to pick up 800 or so passengers. The locomotive has a power output of about 5500HP and is fired with anthracite coal mined on line. I’ll hear it come back through in about an hour and a half, and then again on return, late afternoon.
Thanks much! We're having fun as usual. I'm heading out this morning to Bob's shop to get some more video footage of the trolly. We're going to test fit the trucks underneath it.
Cool project!
Thank you for sharing.👍
Have a great weekend!

Awesome! You are livin' the life!
As always, great video, Stan!

Ohhhh, that's going to be great fun! Not too long before it is rambling down the rails!
Yes, in fact we stood it up on its trucks this morning!
