JR-Hey I resemble that remark Actually working on the electrics isn't all that clean, you've been in our workbarn, gets a tad greasy and grimmy in the pit when one's trying to change out traction motors or do general truck maintenance. Lucky for me I'm not that meachanically inclined, I tend to be the gopher when I'm in the shop. As in gopher that spanner set or gopher the welder etc etc. I wouldn't say that you werer "shanghied" more like railroaded

 

 Are you guys currently fund raising for a roof over your heads though. It would be a shame to do all the restoration and still have to leave the equipmnet out in the elements, snow rain wind and sun are murder on the upper surfaces.

Rob: speaking of fund-raising, how are you doing with tax load on the new barn?

Which trolley busses are gone?

David-Hi again , we are still plugging along.Last we had heard the mayor is weakening his position ie his constituants are none to pleased with him. He and his leading rivals are now decidiedly more for giving us a break, so time will tell.An E700 HSR and a E700 TTC are soon to leave the property, sorry i don't have the numbers of them right off the top of my head. We will be keeping the old 1953 HSR Brill and likely one each of the other HSR and TTC one's.
