Yes EZ, My wife is glad it's not in my basement or attic also. I'm sure that the township may have something to say about that also 
. I just wonder what kind of permits you need to move a locomotive down residential streets and have it installed into your home. It would make for some interesting photo opportunities. I did try to think out of the box on this one, the rest of my orphan challenge ideas are more in line with regular modeling.
My deadline is also only 8 hours. There is a ARHS crew there today but I am unable to make it, our next work session will be on the 22nd/23rd weekend, the day has not been set yet. it is on that week end that I will be doing all the work for this project.
The job includes,,, Rewiring the pre-lube pump with a new cord and twist lock plug; removing and reinstalling new twist lock receptacles in both A units ( this could be the hardest part as the units were built in the late 40's early 50's and the electrical boxes may need to be replaced ) ; determining the proper polarity of the pump so that it turns in the proper direction on both units; fabricating a new electrical box cover for the pump, it has none; and installing a safety switch on to the pump so that it is not plugged in under load.
