And this will be brief. But we'll start with some interesting news. On Wednesday morning we received a very useful gift from a generous donor: a complete, like new, welding set. I don't know enough about welding to tell you very much, but the pictures speak for themselves. I helped him unload his truck and put the cart back together.
It includes a large supply of welding rods.
We greatly appreciate donations like this, and I'm sure we'll be able to put it to good use. (I took a BOCES class in welding back in 1980 or so, but I've forgotten just about everything I ever learned, and I suppose the art of welding has progressed a lot since then.) I'm sure we'll be able to profit from this donation, since we have a lot of experts in this field. Our Museum can find use for almost any sort of mechanical tools or equipment, and your donations will always be appreciated!
The rest of the day I spent mostly on the third rail beams again.
And several of the others were at work on their projects, as usual. But I didn't get any pictures. Sorry!

I know next to nothing about welding, other than watching guys on YouTube. But the Miller equipment seems to be what most of them like, so I think that is a great tool to have in the shop. Years ago, one of the Steam Shop guys asked me if I happened to be a certified welder. So apparently I can be mistaken for one.
