I started off Saturday by loosing a screw. If you loose the screw that holds the eccentric in place on a Mallet, it’s the same thread as a tie screw. Ric’s junk bin supplied the spare parts.

After a hard day’s work, My Mallet was plumb tuckered out:

Oh yes. I met another train earlier in the day and broke my pilot. I have the parts.
Great pictures. Its nice to see trains running again and pictures. Spring is here finally, although for me its been rainy and damp. Mainly on my days off 
Back from Oklahoma! Thank you all for the compliments. Geoff, I think you saying thanks to Jane (Clarke) was very nice. She did a lot as Dispatcher. However, a thanks to Jan (Golding) should also be included, since she aloud us to play in her yard. 
Just a fair warning.
Tell the better half sorry I screwed up her name. I will blame it on my dyslexia.
Geoff,
Where’s your pictures?
Ralph
