On Saturday, December 30, volunteers Dwight Maxey, Chris Pollard, Polly Cotton, Dannis Hudson and Paul Brown worked to remove the Christmas decorations from our train set. Our new methods for attaching the lights made quick work of the removal. After a quick lunch break, we did a battery check on Engine 104. We needed to find out if – after a week of sitting – if any of our batteries were holding a charge. After isolating and attempting to roll the engine over with both on board batteries, and the set on the ground we have been jumping with, it was determined that our batteries are no longer up to the task. Watch for future reports to find out what happens next!
The crew finished up the day reducing the size of the pallet we store our generator on, and installing a smooth deck on the pallet to ease the work needed to get it under the caboose for use. I was only able to get one picture today of the crew as they finished work.
