Today's news: more work on the ceiling in the 319. It's really a pain in the neck, but somebody's got to do it.
There was sanding and filling, then I started painting the next ceiling section with primer until I ran out of paint. (L) So I went back and started at the bulkhead, painting the ceiling with a first coat of the finish color (R), until I ran out of time. There's lots more to do, and I'm not sure how to go about making it look different each time. But hey, you can go ahead and clap. There's nothing wrong with it.
In other news, thanks to B&G, we have a nice new people door at the SW corner of Barn 8. That's a welcome improvement.
And our friend Ted Miles in California has donated an excellent IT antimacassar. Thanks, Ted! A lot of people scoff at the macassar threat, but here at Hicks Car Works, we take it seriously. Every little antimacassar helps!

Randy,
Thanks for the credit; but the donor was the Western Railway Museum. I was only the messenger! The main thing was to get it to where it is needed.
Did the C,A& E use anti-macasseers on their car seats?

No, certainly not in regular service, and none of the pictures I could find of the short-lived parlor car service show any antimacassars either.
Thanks again, Ted.
