Progress Report 09.14.11

Worked on an Atlas U25B I picked up for cheap on eBay.  The decoder installation required milling out the frame.  This was not something I have much experience in, but feeling good lately, I decided to take a shot at it.  I borrowed the Dremel tool from my boss (I really need to get my own).  I was able to grind out the frame so the decoder will fit.  I had more problems putting the locomotive back together making sure to properly align the gears and drive shaft.  Finally got everything back together and tested.  All is working well!  Man it feels good to accomplish something like that!
