Good to see someone was able to find a job for those two guys, Stub and Shorty, running the box cab mass inhalation machine, or MIM for short

You Guys are funny. That's why they are in an enclosed window section for all that mass inhalation within the machine. Another suggested naming it Hoover 1. So I guess MIM 01 is a good one also. Sorry to all, I went with "L&R Vacuum MOW #33".

This evening I wired in the JST Plug for the Beacon Red LEDs. Here is the shell inside wiring. Not my prettiest job, but it will suffice, No one will see it. The glue dried enough for me to connect the JST 2-Pin plug. Now the scratchbuilt Boxcab vacuum construction is finished. Next, I’ll be constructing, and mounting the Roundhouse kit Track Cleaner Assembly. Once I put the Roundhouse Track Cleaner Disc housing together, I’m going to use the original cleaning discs, two at the front, and cut out two circles from the Felt Discs shown, for the rear. This way with each pass over the tracks, I’ll get a cleaning, then a vacuum, finished with a felt buffing.

Louis, I thought of some better names for your newly installed crew on board, Kirby & Dyson.
Looks like your vacuum unit is coming along very nicely!

Thanks Greg! Now that's a line I'll use when talking to my railroad visitors. Introduce the crew as Kirby and Dyson, and see if they catch on.

Looks good. It should be very effective doing its jiob._________________________________________________

Lou,
Construction looks excellent! The plenum is very slick looking. When do we see what debris it sucked up?

Lou will run this creation for a week before finding so much as a speck of dust, because he keeps the place spotless, like a "clean room" at NASA. Finding out if it works requires coming here, and the WGFA are piling up right now, so timing may not be good....
Nicely done, Lou, and I wonder which one of the crew members is Mrs. Hoover's little boy all grown up.... Forgot whether it's Kirby or Dyson....

Louis,
Excellent thought to use the preiser box to keep the dust within the chamber below Kirby & Dyson.
I guess they won't need to be included in any mask mandate either, with all that suction going on below them.

That test run is what it's all about. Great design and construction work, Louis."Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect." Captain A. G. LamplughComment
