March, 1983: I was living in upstate New York; I made several new window frames for both the 309 and 321 over the course of a few months in a BOCES wood-working evening class.
1993: I made new trap doors for the 309, with all new wood but re-using the metal parts. Touch-up work was done to complete the interior restoration.
Meanwhile, the compressor cradle from the 308 was moved to the Diesel shop for repair. I worked on finishing installation of the control and brake equipment in the new vestibule at the #2 end. We also did paint matching for completing the interior paint job. The goal was to get both cars ready for regular service by Memorial Day weekend (which we did.)
