Update on the 105

By Project Chairman Norm Barrett

Fund raising is ongoing. The second radiator is being recored and additional parts from the M&NJ will be arriving as soon as this week.
The one CAT engine has a cracked head assembly. It has been welded a couple of times and is no longer of use. The M&NJ #1 has donated a number of useable heads so now we have spares. The heads are a two cylinder unit that attaches to the engine block.
We still need funds for sheet metal repairs, to replace the cab floor, complete the cab windows weather seals, redo the cab seats and probably a lot of other little things. Last but not least apply a quality paint job.
As soon as this pandemic gets under control Steamtown may open their shop to volunteers. At that time I hope we can reorganize our volunteer team and arrange a couple of work sessions.
It will take time and money to complete.
To those of you that have given already, The Society gives a SPECIAL THANKS!
