Puckdropper's Place Annouces Completion of LGB Porter Rebuild

Mr. Puckdropper's goal of having operational trains by Christmas is well on its way. Today Puckdropper's Place announced the completion of their LGB Porter #3 locomotive rebuild, having passed all inspections. The locomotive was purchased for scrap value along with a gondola and cabin car. The locomotive rebuild took 9 months, including machining a new side rod and obtaining a new wheel cover from the manufacturer.

When work on #3 was finished, shop crews started to check and rebuild the gondola and cabin car acquired with the locomotive. The process involved seperating the car bodies from their frames and trucks, and cleaning the exterior. The shop crew believes they can have the cars ready in order to fulfill Mr. Puckdropper's goal.
