New toys...a month later

[N2TRUX]

With all the crap weather, and the carnage that ensude my trip to Rockwall a month ago ended in displeasure. What should have been an exciting trip got turned in to a lesson in frustration.

Regardless, I have finally had a few minutes to get my 77 in the air and repair the air line. After evaluating the routing of the line to determine what happened, I decided that the broken exhaust must have allowed the pipe to move close enough to the air supply line to cause a blow out. I have to pick up some grommets tomorrow, but I plan to reroute it through the frame just as a precaution.

Here is a pic of the blown line. Not much better than before, but you can see how bad it blew...
