The DL&W #563 trucks are now in assembly, and the contractor shop is hoping to have them done in a month’s time.

As of last week, the journal wicks, wheel axle journals, and bearings were cleaned, and the contractor shop is planning to install the wheels into the trucks this week. We are expecting to have the completed trucks/wheels delivered to MCRM later this summer and are currently seeking donations to help wrap up this project.

Being that the car is nearing completion, any donation helps the museum twice – once from the donation itself, and again when we can sell more tickets for special events because of the added capacity.
