RPI will host a work session this coming Saturday, October 8. Motorcars will set on Llano and head down the line to Kingsland. I will be weedwhacking and mowing in Kingsland in the morning behind a red flag that requires oncoming rail traffic to stop (of course, the motorcars are the only rail traffic expected or even possible on our leased portion of the rail line). I am looking forward to clearing our lines of sight at various rail-highway grade crossings for the Oct. 22 RPI fall run on the Llano Branch.
I worked on my M19AA this past week to get it ready for the fall run. Lubricated all thirteen zerks and last weekend I tested it and it ran fine. In the middle of the week I decided to replace an aluminum bar that serves as a mount for two small red running lights. I fabricated a new one but while installing it I broke one of the running light lenses. So had to order a new one. It arrived yesterday and I installed it today. I discovered I had left the ignition switch on while testing the running lights so now the battery was dead. Took it out and recharged it--all systems go.
