Another sign we are getting closer to "pushing the start button" is shown in the enclosed photos. The class lights are installed and are active and the bell, which was donated, is mounted but not yet plumbed! These are the items which give the locomotive its personality. Still to come is an oil and filter change which will require a trip to the service pit! It is still within our target to have the locomotive under power by the end of the year!!!!

The man standing on the left looks very familiar.

Thanks for the update, Tom! I'd have thunk they'd paint the body first before putting the lights on it, though?

The headlight and marker lights were extensively rewired. That needed to be done before painting. They will be removed before the final painting takes place!
