The new end of the Crenshaw line By: Tom  Downing	Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 10:13:42 AM By: Steve  Claude - RPV Looks like I have allot of work to do now to catch you guys with the passing siding.   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 10:35:07 AM  By: Phil  C. - Torrance, CA Another weekend and the tracks will be down to the end. You better get with it Steve, we are leaving you in the mulch!   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 10:56:27 AM  By: Steve  C - RPV LOL Phil, you guys are stalling my tie shipment so you can pull ahead!   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 1:58:46 PM  By: tom  d - Lakewood Ya no rush Steve. If we get some help we will have track two back to you and you just have to tie in. Those steel track panels go down so fast it's just not fair, but we will run out of them at some point.   Comment Entered: 7/12/2010 8:55:29 PM  By: tom  d - Lakewood the total for the first week end was 335 feet welded and put down still have to go back and line, balest, and level   Comment Entered: 7/19/2010 5:14:57 AM  By: tom  d - lakewood 7-18-10 we put down 100 more feet of track,just 160 feet left to go tell we hit the end of crenshaw

Shag's old locomotive By: Charlie  Giordano	Comment Entered: 7/7/2010 10:08:37 AM By: Paul  Venne - Bangkok Thailand OMG Get it running!!!   Comment Entered: 7/7/2010 10:25:21 AM  By: Steve  C - RPV Maybe one day, we tried to pressure test the boiler but the engine has too many plumbing leaks to hold pressure. It would be a nice engine to have cleaned up and running again.   Comment Entered: 7/8/2010 7:04:17 AM  By: Tom  D - Lakewood This is not a club loco, it was left at the club by the owners son to have a boiler test. Until alot of time is put into getting the plumbing sealed up it's just one great looking lawn sprinker. Looking at this loco closely you can tell it was built by a vary crafty person as there is some neat ways things where done when building it. It would be great to see this become a club loco, so we at So Cal can get it running and all can enjoy seeing it cleaned up, steamed up, and running.
