East Broad Top Pics from June 15, 2008

Inside M-1

	I recently bought a G scale EBT hopper and filled it with Broad Top coal. Here is the result.
	The scale test car was repainted in 2006, and I finally had a chance to get a shot of it.
	Get used to this scene minus the shop stacks. This photo has been edited by removing the shop stacks. Click for the full size unedited version.
	Today I took the opportunity to shoot a bunch of detail shots inside M-1.
	Water fountain complete with working cup dispenser.
	Stone manufacturers plate.
	From the rear door looking forward.
	In the right rear corner of the baggage compartment is this old fire extinguisher and an emergency valve.
	Toward the rear of the car from the baggage compartment.
	Toward the engine room from the baggage compartment.
	This shot shows one of the sliding baggage doors and the numbered mail slots for hauling and sorting the mail.
	M-1 has a couple of these overhead baggage racks.
	The engine room as viewed from the door on the left side.
	One of the spark plug wires partially covers up a BRILL logo cast on the M-1's engine.
	The manufacturers plate for the M-1's generator.
	On the walls of the engine room are the electrical components that make the M-1 tick.
	Opposite of the previous photo you have these on the left wall.
	At the rear of the engine room is this shreaking whistle. This is the whistle the conductor would use to signal the engineer.
	This shot shows the dual carbs.
	Here's the tachometer.
	Here is what the engineer sees sitting in his seat.
	Another shot of the dual carbs. The lever on the right is the spark advance.
	From the engineer's seat, this is the front of the engine with the radiator and fan in the background. If you look closely, you can see the motor that drives the giant fan.
	A closer look at the engineer's gauges.
	Inside one of the electrical boxes.
	Here is the exhaust piping going up to the muffler.
	Detail shot of the carburetor linkage.
	A closer look at one of the carburetors.

	The firing order of M-1's engine is 1-5-3-6-2-4.

	On the left is the brake valve; on the right is the throtle. Notice the primitive "reverser." You simply on the plug in the hole marked 'R' or 'F.'
	The rear door.
	In this shot of one of the trucks, notice the bearing caps have the same BRILL logo as the engine.
	Radiator linkage.
	The next few shots show the underside of M-1. This shows how a traction motor is attached to the wheel set. These are likely not mine locomotive motors because they have four leads instead of two and series and parrallel.


	Lots of piping and brake linkage.
