A team of volunteers has continued to work at removing valuable parts from LRC #6919 to be used in the restoration of LRC #6917 acquired by the TRHA.
.
They were joined by volunteers from the Ontario Locomotive Restoration Society (SOLRS) who successfully recovered 5 MU (multiple unit) plugs that we did not need for their restoration projects.
.
Stephen Gardiner of the TRHA reports:
.
"Our parts kit now includes two more Number Board fixtures with bug deflectors, a stainless steel nose strip, the dashboard ammeter, a gigantic panel of electrical switches (including the hinge intact), an air dryer, two rear car body stirrup steps, the diaphragm Plate Step, miscellaneous air pipes, safety rails from the doors, the rear door of the locomotive and other bits and pieces of pipe and ephemera that one may find on a modern diesel locomotive."
.
At the above left we see our LRC #6917 safely stored pending it removal by the TRHA. IN the picture at the upper left, we see that the control console on the cab of LRC #6919 has been thoroughly scavenged. In the final pictures below, we see what is left of #6919. The diaphragm from the back of the PRC safely in the trailer beside it.
