Removed parts from Waukesha Enginator being scrapped by IRM Coach Dept. – magneto, temp sensor, high current cables, oil filter, rad guards. To-do: remove rad, water pump, fan belt tensioner and air filter. Never know when we might need them!

Viewed the remained inventory of Waukesha units/parts in the B&O wagontop boxcar with Mark Gelman

Roger Kramer, IRM Coach Dept., to help identify interior Pullman hardware/fixtures. Identified source for 32V incandescent bulbs.

Ran Enginator for about 20 mins until it shut off by itself indicating batteries are charged

Pumped 5 more gal water into kitchen water tanks. The sight glass actually registers now and we can wash our very dirty hands after a day of work.

Initially tested small motor-alternator (32VDC to 120 VAC)  in electrical locker that ran a small freezer that transported seafood from Tacoma to Milwaukee. Units runs but is not producing 120V output at receptacle in office area.

Sprayed for wasps in the kitchen vent and Alco loco behind the Dyno.

Propped up ceiling boards above instruments that were sagging.
