It's Allive!
I count the rehabbing of C & S #1, as one of my two or three best locomotive projects. the NWSL drive kit for a Keystone shay that is at the heart of the project is finicky, but it outperformed the original mechanism.
Tyler Made his first visit to Gorre County Tn. today, and Tom was here ( we have long lost count of his visits). I cleared a lot of construction debris from Crooked Creek, and we ran some trains from Murray Tn. to Crooked Creek. and we ran some narrow gauge trains up from Georgia to North Carolina. I expected the narrow gauge to work, as I have been working there; and it was a pleasant surprise that the trains ran pretty well in Crooked Creek, where no wheel has turned in months.
I will have to make a maintenance push to get the who;e outfit operable so we can start working toward operations.
