The new old water tank for #534 was installed into the car today. This will provide water to the bathroom when the car is in service. The tank came off of the Roanoke Chapter NRHS' #512 which is having its water system reworked to hold 500 gallons of water to accommodate its 4 bathrooms.

Today we installed the coupler carrier springs and adjusted the coupler height. The old carrier springs were frozen and got burned off a few months back when we installed the coupler carriers. The carriers had to be removed to widen out the holes for the all thread we used to fabricate our own carrier springs.

Today a new brake cylinder was installed on the 534, the old cylinder was removed because it was broken in two places. The brake rigging will be reinstalled later so we can get the handbrake working.

Lots of work has been taking place on the N&W 534 recently, the coupler carriers have been installed as well as new cut levers. We've also been busy replumbing the air system of the car to be able to pass through air to other cars. Today we put air on the car for the first time in 42 years, no leaks were found and miraculously the conductor valves still work, once the air system is finished we will hook up the original handbrake for the car.
