As soon as my mechanic gets his shop situated I am going to have my FM H12-44 moved from its present storage location to his shop so we can work on getting it operable. I am also going to reactivate the remote control system.
Once it is servicable i am planning on having it repainted in the red white and blue paint scheme, stripes and all, that Fairless Works used on some of its fleet back in the early 80's.
I will then have the unit available for rent.
Nothing will happen for at least 6 months, as i cannot move the FM until some work is done to the brake rigging and the shop tracks need to be installed for the location that it will be shopped at.
I will keep you updated. This is going to be a nice project and the quicker it is servicable the better as i have a couple potential uses for it.
