Parade Float 1xx

Each year the GSRM steam train parade float is prepared for the upcoming parade season. The complete train is looked at both cosmetically and mechanically. This year the exhaust system and cooling system were in for major work. The outside of the train gets a fresh coat of paint on many of its parts.
