The first task on Wednesday was to put the original bearing back together on the 309 so it can be moved over the pit at some point. On Sunday the heavy motor cap was lifted onto the platform, and after some effort I was able to get the two halves in place on the axle, as seen here:
And from there, it's relatively simple to bolt the assembly together, although it's rather cramped.
So I removed the red tags, and the car can be run under its own power whenever necessary. And I worked on getting everything ready for operation with the 36 and 319 on Saturday.

And here Victor is running lumber through the jointer for the tool car siding:
And here are the folding doors for the 306:
