I did my ARHS homework last night

I cut back and renumbered all the wire on the MU receptacle. I want the splice to be accessible from the box that I installed not two feet up the pipe and the tails were way too long to squeeze in the box. now it should fit nicely . On the right in the pic is a template that I cut from some heavy card stock for drilling the mounting holes. We can reuse it when it's time for the other two MU points    

I also drew up a cheat sheet to cross reference the wire labels from what EMD uses and what NS called each wire. This will make all the terminations a lot easier.    

And a copy from the ARHS face book page-------


ARHS work session today. We put water in the 664, charged the batteries and pre-lubed the engine. With a little coaxing she came to life after a cold winter sitting outside. 664 was then moved to the turntable and spun so that it and 663 would be in proper back to back orientation. We also sandblasted the blue paint off of several of the B units body panels. More panels will be cleaned this way this coming Saturday
