4/12-4/18

Details noticed around the bogie were necessary to be done. The previous timing belts which were acquired for the bogie were too long thus new timing belts will be ordered. Also, the aluminum blocks which maintain in place some of the wheels will be remade as steel will be more reliable rather than aluminum. With forces acting on the bogie throughout the course of switching and transversing through the rail system, the threads in the aluminum block will fail prematurely. Using steel blocks will be much safer and reliable. Also, the gears in the gearbox were welded together to maintain them in the desired position at all times.
