Agreed. As I said before, we're off the 470 now on this topic.
I'm moving on.

How about an update here folks?

Is the 501 cab finished?

Is the tank car painted?

Which piece of equipment is next for the paint booth?

When is there going to be an election for board officials?

Nope. Long, long, long, long, LONG way to go.

I started a 470 Railroad club and MEC 470 preservation Facebook group. I uploaded a few pictures I had of the 470. Having pictures of 501 would be great! link in signature

Thanks for the link. Are you affiliated with the actual 470 Railroad Club based in Portland?

Sadly I am not. I wouldn't be able to make any of the meetings. The group is unofficial which is why I made it about the 470 and the club and not solely the club.

Lookin' good! Now I'll need to shoot new roster shots... Good excuse for me to get back to North Conway. If only they could guarantee the FGLK unit and the F unit side by side...

4266 looks complete again.

It takes real skill to choke on air, fall up the stairs and trip over nothing. I have those skills.

Otto,

The now "complete" 4266, even though her panels have not been replaced, she needs wiring and a new paint job.....is sitting

on the roundhouse spur and 1751 is sitting on the table.
