Pat and All,
First, I have to put it back together and get it running.
Then I have to retro fit the lack of any form of lights (required
under most insurance policies) gotta slap some paint on it, lettering, etc.
After that, for liability insurance reasons I'll need to join one or
more non-profits to be covered under liability insurance and or gain
permission to access their tracks.
Then, and only then, will I get to give it a shakedown - it hasn't
run now for about a decade, I've owned it for about 7 years now.
Anyway - mine is a two stroke and an original car to the Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad, a local favorite of mine.
One day, when I get the time (HA!) it'll roll again.
-Joey
