Polishing the apple... LV 211
Painted over sixteen years ago, our Lehigh Valley "Hammerhead" RS3m is looking a little faded as it sits on display in Industry yard. The museum invested in a durable paint job, so let's see what a little elbow grease can do...
Not a bad start, already she's looking better. After a fair amount of elbow grease by museum volunteer Chris Hauf, the #211 is looking much shinier with a lot of more of the engine to go. Amazing what a little wax can do!
Looks even better, now! With the "Hammerhead" short hood and long hood complete, #211 is looking really good. You can see the difference in the picture since the frame paint had yet to be buffed out.
Construction around the museum
Loading up...a different way... With more excavation still to take place northeast of the museum's restoration building, more dirt is moved using the museum's Trojan front loader and one of the museum's ex-US Military 6x6 dump trucks.
Steady at the controls... Museum volunteer, Scott Gleason, has steady control of the Trojan loader as he loads another bucket full of dirt into the dump truck.
A new tool... The Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum was recently offered the opportunity to purchase a new-to-us flat bed boom truck for a very reasonable price to aid in projects around the museum. The museum made the purchase, and here we see the truck just after delivery being moved. Several donations to the museum made this purchase possible. Can you help us be ready for future opportunities with a donation today?
