Water Tank & Windup Trains...

Slow progress on the trains for the past month, but the water tank mentioned in a previous post is now operational, although not finished.  I still have to add the RO filter, but the tank does function as  - well, you know - a water tank.
 
Beyond that, there are some little windup projects to do.  Aside from some upcoming work, I have a little American Flyer Hummer I am repairing for someone else that is getting a new mainspring:

Also, I got another little Hafner 109 that needs a new mainspring, too.  It is in good condition otherwise... many times these little cast iron locomotives have some of the parts broken off the body:

I'm not well versed on the details of Hafner history, but this particular locomotive came with a tag attached from a previous owner stating it dates from the 1914-1920 timeframe.  No doubt about it, it is an old train!
